What the source supports

  • The ministry put the reduction at around 450 million cubic feet per day.
  • Low pressure affected power plants, industrial users, CNG stations and other consumers.
  • Technical teams were working to restore service; this page does not infer that full supply has since returned.

The ministry statement confirmed the disruption and response effort. Restoration status after the statement requires a newer official update.

The energy ministry said on 22 July that a technical fault at a floating LNG terminal disrupted supply and lowered gas pressure for power plants, industry, CNG stations and other consumers.

The confirmed disruption

The ministry said supply from the affected FSRU was temporarily suspended after a technical fault, reducing gas delivered to the national grid by around 450 mmcfd.

Power-sector implications

Gas availability can affect the output of gas-fired generation, but the actual electricity impact depends on plant dispatch, alternative fuels, demand, grid conditions and the duration of the interruption.

Response measures

The statement said agencies and technical specialists were working around the clock and that available supply was being managed to support emergency and priority users.

What remains to verify

A current terminal-status notice, restored flow rate and any plant-level generation effects require subsequent official records.
