Technip Energies has been selected to develop the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) for the RGT Yan liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Kedah, Malaysia. The project is being jointly developed by Gas Malaysia, Tokyo Gas Asia and VTTI, with an estimated investment of MYR 2–3 billion ($490–735 million). The FEED work will assess terminal configurations and establish the technical basis for the project ahead of a final investment decision (FID).
The proposed terminal will have an LNG handling capacity of 6 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) and will be located offshore northern Peninsular Malaysia. The development will centre on a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU), supported by marine infrastructure, a subsea gas pipeline and an onshore receiving facility. The infrastructure will receive and store LNG, regasify it and deliver natural gas into the supply system.
Gas Malaysia received approval from the Malaysian Energy Commission to proceed with the project in March 2026, allowing engineering, financing and site preparation activities to advance. In May 2026, Gas Malaysia signed a joint development agreement with Tokyo Gas Asia and VTTI. Gas Malaysia is leading the development phase, while the partners are supporting technical studies, commercial negotiations, regulatory activities and pre-FID management.
The RGT Yan project is intended to establish an additional LNG import route for northern Peninsular Malaysia and support regional industrial and power-sector demand. The 6 mtpa terminal would provide additional flexibility in natural gas supply and form part of Malaysia’s wider gas infrastructure.
