First Gen Corp. of the Lopez Group issued the tender for one liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipment for delivery during the dry months to support its gas-fired power plants.
“First Gen confirms the release of a tender for one LNG cargo. The tender was released last Feb. 16, 2025, for delivery during the summer season. This is to support operations of our plants for the coming months,” the company said.
First Gen last took delivery of an LNG cargo from Shell Eastern LNG in November 2024.
The company owns four power plants with a combined capacity of 2,017 megawatts that run on natural gas, a bridge fuel that offers flexible power generation positioned to support the introduction of more intermittent renewable energy in the country.
“Gas fired plants can ramp up quickly to augment supply,” it said.
First Gen also has a fleet of 28 power plants generating up to 1,651 MW from solar, wind, hydro and geothermal facilities.
The 3,668-MW combined capacity of First Gen power plants helps assure the country’s energy security.
First Gen also owns an 80-percent stake in FGEN LNG Corp. (FGEN LNG)) that operates a $370 million liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal at the First Gen Clean Energy Complex in Batangas City.
The remaining 20 percent is owned by Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd (Tokyo Gas), Japan’s largest natural gas utility company.
The FGEN LNG terminal broke grown in May 2019 and was granted a permit by the Department of Energy in January 2025.
