- When energy security comes under threat
HCMC – PV GAS said it has completed an upgrade to raise the regasification capacity of its Thi Vai LNG terminal to 288 tons per hour, helping meet peak electricity demand during the dry season.
The upgrade comes amid heightened volatility in global energy markets linked to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
PV Gas said its logistics subsidiary, in coordination with partners, completed trial runs of the upgraded system on April 2, following earlier tests conducted in mid-March and early April.
The system operated safely and stably at the new capacity level of 288 tons per hour, up from the original design capacity of 171 tons per hour, equivalent to about 9.5 million standard cubic meters per day, meeting all technical and operational requirements.
The higher capacity is expected to strengthen PV GAS’ ability to supply fuel to power plants in line with dispatch schedules set by the National System and Market Operator during peak demand periods.
The upgrade is seen as strategically important as global energy supply chains face increasing risks. The Thi Vai LNG terminal plays a key role in ensuring stable gas supply for electricity generation in Vietnam’s southeastern region.
