PLN EPI secures 2.5 mtpa of LNG from Masela for 18 years
Published · Updated
What happened
PT PLN Energi Primer Indonesia said it had secured 2.5 million tonnes per annum of LNG from the Masela Working Area for an 18-year term. ANTARA reported the supply is targeted to begin in late 2030 and is intended to support PLN's generation demand.
Why it matters
The announcement gives the market and policymakers a new reference point for future domestic LNG allocation from one of Indonesia's major upstream gas projects. It also ties part of Masela's future output to the power sector, which can affect later decisions on export volumes, infrastructure sequencing, and PLN's fuel-cost planning.
PT PLN Energi Primer Indonesia announced on November 2 that it had secured 2.5 million tonnes per annum of LNG supply from the Masela Working Area for 18 years. The volume is equal to about 40 cargoes per year, with supply targeted to start in late 2030. The announcement adds a concrete domestic allocation signal to Indonesia's longer-term gas balance and power-fuel planning as policymakers weigh domestic supply commitments against export economics.
