Yan LNG Terminal Advances Malaysia’s Northern Energy-Security Strategy

Shah Alam, 5 October 2026 – Gas Malaysia’s proposed liquefied natural gas import terminal in Yan, Kedah, is advancing as a strategic northern entry point that could strengthen fuel flexibility for power generation and industry while reshaping the country’s gas-infrastructure investment map.

Gas Malaysia signed a joint development agreement with Tokyo Gas and global energy-infrastructure operator VTTI for the proposed regasification terminal. The project is envisaged as an offshore floating storage and regasification unit near Pulau Bunting with capacity of up to six million tonnes a year. The Energy Commission had earlier issued a letter to proceed, giving the partners a basis to develop the project while completing commercial, engineering and regulatory work.
