LNG TERMINAL PERSPECTIVES AFTER THE YEAR 2024

In the year 2018, Pöyry Management Consulting has carried out a study on securing long-term import of liquefied natural gas (LNG) (after the year 2024, when the lease of FSRU signed with Norvegian company Hoegh LNG expires). 3 possible alternatives were assessed:

  • Acquisition of FSRU terminal after 2024;
  • Re-negotiation and lease agreement extension for 10 years;
  • Re-negotiation and lease agreement extension for 20 years;
  • The study reveals that most of the value is generated through ensuring lower natural gas prices by maintaining competetive pressure to Gazprom, therefore, the LNG terminal would be used after the year 2024.
  • Cost benefit analysis, carried out by independent advisers, shows that economically most usable decision would be to acquire FSRU.
  • Further actions: by July, 2018, AB Klaipėdos nafta shall present an evaluation and suggestion regarding the further solution to the Government of the Republic of Lithuania, taking into account the results of the study and possible benefits for Lithuania and the Company.
  • The Government of the Republic of Lithuania shall make a final decision regarding the assurance of long-term LNG supply.
