Regasification facilities are needed to create supply security including flexibility, reliability, and continuity.
The "Merchant Business Model" concept, will provide flexibility to maintain supply reliability by not only relying on pipe gas supply with the availability of PGN's natural gas supply obtained from various supply sources namely pipe gas and LNG, and the latest is BioMethane gas type.
In addition, the LNG regasification facility also serves as a supply point, if there is a surge in gas demand or if there is a decrease in pipe gas supply sources in the short or long term then this shows part of the efforts and commitment of PGN to provide uninterrupted service to customers.
