The supply will be used by the company’s existing gas-fired power plants in the same complex.

First Gen has four gas-fired power plants with a total capacity of 2,071 megawatts. It uses gas generated from the domestic Malampaya field.

The company’s LNG arm built its Interim Offshore LNG Terminal Project and entered a five-year Time Charter Party for BW Batangas to provide storage and regasification services.
