GNL GUATEMALA S.A. has developed a comprehensive LNG-to-Power project. The project involves the import of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
Phase 1 – Short-Term Facility: A temporary 10,000–15,000 m³ Small-Scale LNG Carrier (SSLNGC) will deliver LNG from Honduras, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, or the U.S. Gulf Coast to Puerto Santo Tomás. LNG will be transferred via a 0.5-km pipeline to ten 2,000-m³ cryogenic storage tanks, regasified, and transported through a 1-km, 14-inch gas pipeline to GNL Guatemala S.A.’s 600-MW combined-cycle power plant. Power will be evacuated through new 230-kV transmission lines.
Phase 2 – Long-Term Facility: A permanently moored 130,000-m³ offshore FSU with a Jettyless iQuay regasification system will supply natural gas through a 14-km, 14-inch pipeline to support 1,000 MW of generation. Electricity will be transmitted via dedicated 230-kV lines to the Santo Tomás and Morales substations.
