The Matola terminal will have a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) that can receive LNG shipments from various sources and deliver regasified gas to a gas-to-power plant to be built at the Beluluane Industrial Complex and, in addition, supply gas to the South African market via the ROMPCO pipeline. The terminal is expected to start operations by mid-2026 and have a capacity of two million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG. "Connecting LNG supply from Matola with the ROMPCO pipeline will enhance security of supply to the South African energy market and ensure that the MSP is used to its full capacity, factoring in the declining Pande and Temane fields," comments Sebake.
