Jan 27 (LNG) - Thailand’s national energy company PTT has been given the go-ahead by the Energy Regulatory Commission for some limited LNG re-exports and trading from the Map Ta Phut import terminal in Rayong province. The initial plans for 2020 had been postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Map Ta Phut terminal is the sole facility in the southeast Asian nation and has storage capacity of 11.5 million tonnes. PTT will complete additional storage of 7.5 MTPA  by 2022 as more Thai energy and power companies prepare to enter the LNG business under deregulation.
