Power sector may be allowed LNG import
As the country faces electricity outages due to shortage of gas, the government is looking towards the power sector for liquefied natural gas (LNG) import by utilising the idle capacity of LNG terminals. The government is set to amend the policy that will allocate the unutilised capacity of LNG terminals to power plants for the import of gas for their own use. So far, Pakistan LNG Limited (PLL) has maintained its monopoly over LNG terminals and the allocation of their unutilised capacity, though it has never been able to utilise the full capacity of these terminals.
