Supporting Feasibility Study and Survey to Adopt LNG Power Generation to Diversify Energy Mix
The proposed feasibility study will identify the optimal Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility for Sri Lanka and the most suitable location for the development of new LNG-fired power plants and its associated facilities. LNG demand is increasing in the country, as well as in Maldives. Developing an LNG terminal in Sri Lanka with sufficient storage and adequate supply could help meet the country's demand, lowering energy costs, and tap into markets in the region, including in neighboring Maldives.
