Greater than 130 000 m3 of LNG, bought by the primary thermal turbines within the nation as a provision to cope with the El Niño phenomenon in 2H23, has arrived on the SPEC LNG regasification terminal.
“Our prospects are stocking up on pure fuel to assist electrical energy era throughout the upcoming dry spell. On 15 Could 2023, we obtained at our terminal a ship with about 16 000 m3 of LNG, on 2 June 2023, 43 800 m3 arrived, the earlier week one other ship arrived with roughly 28 000 m3, and within the subsequent few days we are going to obtain about 44 000 m3 of this vitality that has supplied reliability to the nation for six years,” reported José María Castro, Normal Supervisor of SPEC LNG.
This LNG is saved on the Cartagena regasification terminal to be reworked from a liquid to a gaseous state and delivered, when required, to the primary thermal crops within the nation so as to assist the era of electrical energy throughout the interval of low hydrology.
“Our infrastructure has a storage capability of 170 000 m3 of LNG and a regasification capability accessible to our purchasers of 400 million ft3/d of pure fuel, with which they’ll assist near 2000 MW of electrical energy era with pure fuel, which represents 60% of the thermal capability in Colombia,” defined Castro.
Within the scheme that helps the era {of electrical} vitality outlined by the Vitality and Fuel Regulation Fee (CREG), the SPEC LNG regasification terminal has the position of infrastructure agent that gives its providers to a few thermal turbines within the nation, the which purchase backup LNG via the Advertising and marketing Agent that represents them.
“The terminal is a key piece within the backup scheme that gives firmness and reliability to the Colombian electrical system, with strategic and versatile LNG storage, and permits the thermal park to ensure the provision {of electrical} vitality, not solely in eventualities resembling El Niño, additionally within the face of different eventualities within the electrical system, with a gas resembling pure fuel that could be a catalyst for sustainable development, and a car to cut back vitality poverty and enhance social well-being,” affirmed Castro.
The regasification terminal was very important in 2020, when the extent of the reservoirs reached 30%, it regasified near 13 000 million ft3 of LNG for greater than 200 days for the thermal crops and obtained 16 methane tankers all year long. On this method, gas-fired thermal era contributed near 22% of the nationwide vitality demand and a potential scarcity {of electrical} vitality was averted.
