The regassification plant in Malacca, which will allow for the import of liquefied natural gas (LNG), is slated for completion in August. Post September, Tenaga will get delivery on any volume they want, except that any amount above 1,100 million standard cu ft per day (mmscfd) will be at market price. Currently, TNB gets supply of 1,100 mmcsfd of gas; this will be supplied at the government-regulated price of RM13.70 per million metric British thermal units (mmbtu). Meanwhile, the market price per mmbtu is RM45. - StarBiz
