Gulf Energy is only the second company in the country to secure such a license – state-owned Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) being the first.
This latest license was reportedly granted as part of Thailand’s plans to free up its natural gas market and pursue a position as a regional LNG trading hub.
Gulf Energy has also been granted a 300 000 tpy LNG shipper license by the Energy Regulatory Commission.
The company will reportedly use its license to supply 19 of its small scale power projects with LNG.
