PT Pelindo Energi Listrik (PEL), a subsidiary of state-owned port operator PT Pelindo III, expects an LNG hub terminal in Celukan Bawang, Bali, currently under construction to start operation in the fourth quarter of this year.
?After the operation of the Benoa LNG terminal, PEL expects the Celukan Bawang LNG hub to be ready for operation in November of December,? said PEL Director Gembong Primadjaja to Petromindo.com recently.
He explained that PEL currently operates two ports in Bali, namely Celukan Bawang and Benoa. ?We hope that from these points, gas can be supplied to (power plants in) Lombok, Makassar, and Kolaka,? Gembong said.
