Indonesia: PLN in LNG Cargo Shortage

PT PLN (Persero) of Indonesia is lacking 22 cargoes of liquefied natural gas needed to meet the fuel needs of power plants in 2015.

“There is a supply assurance of 34 cargoes of the total LNG needed but there is still a shortage of 22 cargoes for next year,” Antara news agency cited the company’s fuel and gas division head Suryadi Mardjoeki as saying.

The company has asked the government to fill the LNG shortage, Mardjoeki said.

“We hope there is immediate assurance on this matter. If not, we will fill the shortage from imports; but for the time being, we will first prioritize the domestic suppliers,” he added.
