South Korean power producer SK ES has completed construction of a 1,800MW power plant near Seoul that will be fuelled initially by LNG imported from the US Gulf coast, bypassing the country's monopoly gas distributor state-controlled Kogas. The power plant, in Paju northwest of Seoul, began full-scale commercial operations on 1 February, 28 months after construction began. It will be fuelled initially by LNG derived from US shale gas. SK ES has already imported 56,000t of LNG (117mn m~3 of dry gas equivalent) from US exporter Cheniere Energy's Sabine Pass terminal in Louisiana, Texas.
