The Egyptian government intends to import 22 LNG shipments in August and September to supply power plants with the needed fuel, according to a government official speaking to Asharq Business.
The official expects the country to receive 11 LNG shipments each month.
He pointed out that Egypt’s daily natural gas needs amount to 6.2 billion cubic feet.
It was reported earlier this month that the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources received the 10th shipment of the 21 agreed-upon liquified natural gas (LNG) to meet the state’s demands for power plants and fertilizer factories.
Notably, Egypt is reportedly planning to bring in up to 17 additional LNG shipments during the fourth quarter of this year.
