2 1. Introduction Following the lifting of the sanctions, Myanmar has become one of the hottest countries in South East Asia for business, economic and trade activities. In order to fulfil its economic growth and industrial growth, Myanmar needs to substantially increase its current installed generation capacity of 5,215 MW (as of December 2016). As per the Myanmar Energy Master Plan published by the Asian Development Bank, the demand forecast is expected to grow to close to 14,500 MW in Myanmar has not yet developed its own fossil fuel resources and is dependent on import. Due to the current domestic gas shortage till 2020, alternative liquid fuel sources should be considered in the short and middle term future for power generation in order not to slow down the economic and industrial development of Myanmar. Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), with the high efficiency combustion engine technology, is considered a suitable interim fuel in Myanmar until pipe gas or LNG is available especially when the country needs urgent access to power. But it is very likely that the HFO will be replaced gradually by natural gas or LNG in the coming years. It is also evident that not all locations will be able to connect to a gas pipeline and even if connected the reliability of the gas pipeline may not meet the availability criteria for the Power Plants. Therefore LNG to Power will definitely be one of the solutions we will see in the future Myanmar. The share of additional capacity that will rely on LNG will be very much dependent on the price and availability of LNG in Myanmar the coming years. Besides availability it will also have an impact on how and where the LNG receiving terminals can be built and how they can be accessed by the smallscale LNG carriers and at the same time connected to power plants nearby. Firstly, in this paper, we will study Myanmar s current power system as well as the potential locations of new generation vs. existing gas pipeline. Based on this we will recommend a few places where combined LNG terminals and Power Plants could be built. Secondly, this paper will study the various possible LNG terminal solutions, both onshore and off-shore, and corresponding LNG logistics. Each of these conceptual solutions will be compared based on the cost of generated electricity. Finally, this paper will present a sensitivity analysis which can be used to compare the various unknowns in the LNG value chain. This can be used to prepare for site differences and future changes in the LNG supply chain and prices. 2 Comparing Various LNG to Power Solutions for Myanmar 2017

3 2. Myanmar power & gas infrastructure Myanmar power generation mix Myanmar is one of the upcoming economies in South East Asia. The recent lifting of international sanctions due to economic and political reforms in the country, along with its strategic location as a land bridge between South and South-East Asia, has brought the country into the spotlight of international investors. The total generation capacity in Myanmar is 5,307 MW as of November Hydropower is the dominant constituent of the power mix of Myanmar and it represented 58.85% of the country s total installed capacity in 2016, while gas power contributed to 40.80% and 0.35% Diesel. The remaining share comprises renewable technologies such as wind, solar, biopower and small hydropower. Fig 1: Myanmar total generation capacity Electricity access in the country is extremely limited, with the national average being around 34%. In urban areas, the highest access rate has been recorded in Yangon City at 67%, while in rural areas this is around 16%. Most of Myanmar s people reside in rural areas. Myanmar energy consumption is among the lowest in the world. The consumption per capita is 160 kwh per annum twenty times less than the world average. On the other hand, Myanmar has abundant power generation resources. Its hydropower potential has been estimated at around 108 GW. More than 300 sites have been identified by the government, with a total generation capacity potential of around 46 GW. The country also has large natural gas reserves, estimated at 11 trillion cubic feet (tcf). This gas is, however, mostly extracted for export. Oil and gas mining and extraction are the largest activities in the country s industrial sector, although labour employment is low. Electricity consumption is growing fast in Myanmar. The peak load demand reached 4,000 mega-watts ( MW) in 2016, growing on average 14 percent per annum in the past five years. Electricity shortages and supply disruptions remain prevalent in the country. Accumulated delays in investments in power infrastructure, over-reliance on seasonal hydropower production, together with a rapid increase in electricity demand, which tripled over the last decade, results in large electricity shortages in the whole country. 3 Comparing Various LNG to Power Solutions for Myanmar 2017

4 Myanmar gas pipeline network Myanmar possesses a developed gas transmission system (see Table 1). About 4,500 km of gas pipelines have been constructed onshore and 700 km offshore. It is planned to further extend and enlarge diameters of the pipeline network. There are two international gas pipe lines from Myanmar: one to Thailand and another one to China. Export pipelines are newer and of considerably better condition comparing to domestic pipelines. They are of better design and maintained to the standards, and also possess corrosion prevention system and SCADA system. Domestic pipelines were built following lower standards and have suffered from inadequate maintenance. There are planned activities on rehabilitation of existing pipelines as well as construction of new ones. Domestic gas pipeline network Onshore (4 to 20 ) km Offshore, Yadana to Yangon (24 ) km Export gas pipeline to PTTEPI Yadana to Metering Station (36 ) km Yetagun to Metering Station (24 ) km Myanmar-China crude and gas pipeline (ongoing) Crude Pipeline (32 ), Myanmar side km Gas Pipeline (40 ), Myanmar side km Table 1: Details for both domestic and export gas pipelines 83% of the gas produced in Myanmar is currently exported to Thailand. Export of gas to PRC has recently started from the Shwe gas field. The rest of the gas is utilized internally, mainly for power production, but also for transportation, industrial parks and fertilizers industry. There is roughly 0.8 GW of installed capacity of gas fired PPs in Myanmar, however their actual capacity is only one third of that. There are plans for rehabilitation of existing power plants, as well as plans to construct new gas fired PPs to achieve total installed capacity of 4 GW. Besides, there is a programme on conversion of petrol cars into NGVs. The Government of Myanmar subsidises gas price for power production, bringing it down to 5 USD/MMbtu from the borderline price of USD/MMbtu (Yadana) and USD/MMbtu (Shwe). MOEE has initiated an increase of gas price to 7.5 USD/MMbtu, and if approved it will apply it to 11.2 USD/MMbtu. Finally by calculating the cost of electricity produced by LNG for a fictive case based on a few sites in Myanmar, we illustrate the practicalities around planning the optimal logistic chain and choosing the LNG receiving terminal and power plant solutions in order to convert LNG to Power in the most cost efficient and optimal way. 4 Comparing Various LNG to Power Solutions for Myanmar 2017

5 3. LNG & Power Plant solutions 3.1 Business case for introducing LNG Global demand for gas is increasing and especially in the form of LNG. The drivers behind this is that gas is environmentally cleaner than oil and laws are being enforced to phase out coal and oil and replace by renewable energy. Furthermore gas is giving stability to energy prices with an alternative market in the process of de-linking from oil market. 3.2 LNG logistic chain A major cost adder to bring LNG to the final destination comes from the infrastructure requirements and thereby cost of the LNG logistic chain. The logistic chain includes the steps starting with the liquefaction of the natural gas, loading the LNG carrier for the sea transport, unloading the LNG carrier to the receiving terminal via a jetty and unloading systems; and regasification or other means of further re-distribution of LNG with trucks or barges. It is in the end users interest that this logistic chain is as cost efficient as possible. The key in making liquefied natural gas (LNG) affordable for the end users and still leave some profit for all the stakeholders making the value chain possible is to design an optimal logistics chain. Due to the increasing complexity of handling -163 C LNG as compared to ambient air temperature diesel and heavy fuel oil (HFO), the LNG logistic chain will need a lot more consideration. Furthermore, new solutions and configurations for a small-scale logistic chain is being developed by all the industry players as we speak. This makes the planning and optimization challenging as the equation includes a lot of unknowns. There are several things that can be done to optimize the logistic chain. The cost of natural gas at the final destination will be dependent on parameters like: The size of the ship(s), shipping route(s), size and location of receiving terminal(s), utilization of BOG in the process and finally the customer s gas dependence and gas availability and reliability requirements. In order to optimize the logistic chain with all the interdependent variables, Wärtsilä has developed a tool for this. The end user requirements, infrastructure constraints and commercial parameters are inputs. The tool can also be used to do sensitivity analysis on the final landed LNG price and how it is affected by the various parameters in the logistic chain. In this paper we will use the tool to calculate the cost of delivering LNG from one supplier to three potential receiving consumers. The fictive case is based on delivery from the Singapore LNG terminal to sites in Myanmar. 5 Comparing Various LNG to Power Solutions for Myanmar 2017

6 3.3 LNG receiving terminals & consumers The receiving and redistribution terminal can be of many types. The choice of terminal will depend on the site locations and the volumes required. Large Scale Mid Scale Small Scale Flat Bottom Concrete tanks Concrete tanks or Pressurised tanks Pressurised steel tanks FSRU LNG Barge (or mini FSRU) LNG Barge On-Shore Off-Shore Fig 2: Principle solutions for LNG terminals based on their size and location There are both on-shore and off-shore solutions available for the LNG receiving terminals today. For large onshore terminals, flat bottom concrete tanks are the most commonly used. For the small sizes the pressurized steel tanks are becoming popular. For large-scale terminals there are possibilities to employ an offshore solution with an FSRU (floating storage & regasification unit) or an FSU (floating storage unit) with a regas unit mounted on the jetty. Projects have also been planned using old LNG carriers serving as FSUs. These old LNG carriers can be purchased at a low price because they are not economical to use as carriers anymore due to their old inefficient steam engines. In locations where an onshore location is not suitable and the gas amounts are too small to make an FSU or FSRU feasible, Wärtsilä s LNG floating storage & regasification barge (FSRB) can be the best alternative. 6 Comparing Various LNG to Power Solutions for Myanmar 2017

7 Fig. 3 - LNG floating storage & regasification barge (FSRB) Ideal for: locations with shallow protected water, difficult site conditions and expensive local infrastructure. Advantage: 1) the asset is mobile and modularized in sizes from 7500 m 3 to 30,000 m 3 and can therefore be multiplied or relocated if demands change. 2) solution needs minimal site work as most of the work is shifted to factories Fig. 4 - Medium-size LNG terminal based on a flat bottom concrete tank Ideal for: terminals where a storage capacity over 15,000 m 3 is required and there is good availability of local labour and construction equipment. Advantage: a well-insulated tank and robust terminal that can withstand any type of weather. 7 Comparing Various LNG to Power Solutions for Myanmar 2017

8 Fig. 5 - Small-size LNG terminal based on insulated bullet tanks Ideal for: smaller size terminals where a storage capacity up to 15,000 m 3 is required or where there is not sufficient availability of local labour and construction equipment. Advantage: a solution that needs minimal site work as most of the work is shifted to factories. Fig. 6 Floating storage & regasification unit (FSRU) Ideal for: large size storage from 125,000 m 3 and up where there is at least 600 MW offtake. Advantage: the solution is flexible and can be moved whenever the demand is changing. 3.4 Power plant solutions Then let s have a look at the typical main LNG/natural gas consumers, the power plants. Almost all power plants in operation today have been built on-shore. But there are a few power barges and power ships in operation around the world. Wärtsilä has delivered more than 20 power barges since 1993 and delivered the gen-sets for the majority of the power ships. On-Shore Off-Shore Figure 7. Wärtsilä s power plant solutions for on-shore and off-shore 8 Comparing Various LNG to Power Solutions for Myanmar 2017

9 The reasons why people choose an off-shore power barge over a traditional on-shore power plant are typically the same reasons as for choosing an LNG Floating storage and re-gasification barge instead of an on-shore terminal e.g.: Need for a temporary solution Need for a quick delivery time, where the site work would be on the critical path Need for flexibility and the possibility to move the plant Building on a site that lacks infrastructure and labour for effective construction Problem site, with bad soils or difficult to permit. Wärtsilä power plants are based on combustion engines of unit sizes from 4-22 MW. Typical plant sizes are from MW. The largest plant built by Wärtsilä based on the combustion engine technology is 573 MW site-rating (= >600 MW ISO-conditions rating). Figure 8: On-shore 100 MW power plant layout with full plant infrastructure including switch yard and high voltage transformers, liquid fuel tanks for possible dual-fuel set-up as well as all other service and storage facilities needed. The power plants can be either gas, diesel, HFO or dual fuel based. The dual fuel option is a very popular solution in locations where the gas or LNG infrastructure is not reliable or under planning. With a dual fuel solution you can start up and produce power on HFO immediately while the LNG infrastructure is under construction. As soon as LNG/gas is available, the plant will be ready the same day to switch fuel. Even during operation on LNG/gas, you have the option to an instant switch to diesel or HFO in case there would be any disturbance in the LNG delivery, which significantly reduces operational risk. Figure 9: Off-Shore 100 MW power barge. This power barge is excluding the fuel storage switch yard and high voltage transformers which in this case would be located on the shore side. 9 Comparing Various LNG to Power Solutions for Myanmar 2017

10 With introduction of intermittent renewable energy like wind and solar, the duty of the gas power plants has increasingly become to provide the grid reliability and support for the renewable energy. The running profile of the existing plants is changing from baseload operation to a more flexible and peaking operation. This is an important change to consider when designing new LNG infrastructure. The consumption might be a lot less than first expected. m 3 LNG 60,000 Typical refilling interval 50, MW plant (baseload 8000 h/year) 620,000 m 3 /year (= 280,000 tonnes/year) 40,000 30,000 20,000 10, Days of storage 100 MW plant (baseload 8000 h/year) 310,000 m 3 /year (= 140,000 tonnes/year) 50 MW plant (baseload 8000 h/year); OR 100 MW (flexible baseload = 4000 h/year); OR 200 MW (peak load = 2000 h/year) 155,000 m 3 /year (= 70,000 tonnes/year) Figure 10: Typical consumption and storage size for gas power plants Storing gas as LNG gives a greater flexibility for a varying load and power factor by not being dependent on the natural gas pipeline fixed capacity. When planning an LNG receiving terminal it is important to try to include as many off-takers as possible sharing the same terminal. Larger throughput lowers the specific cost of the investment. Including more distribution options in the terminal makes it more expensive, but if this in return increases the throughput, it might still reduce the specific cost of LNG.

11 4. Advantage of first movers and partnership set-ups Consumers will, unless forced by legislation, normally decide whether it is worthwhile changing fuel based on the estimated cost of LNG. At the same time the cost of LNG will depend on how many consumers that are ready to start using LNG. This is an iterative process where adding more consumers will make the value chain more economical reducing the final LNG price, which will further attract more consumers. But due to heavy investments needed in order to get the LNG logistic chain started it is always difficult to be the first consumer in a new place with an un-developed logistic chain. This is the classical chicken and egg situation that can best be resolved by finding a major anchor customer and appointing a strong project leader. In parts of the world, we can already see brave companies that have recently got their LNG logistics up-and-running and are now busy looking for additional consumers in order to increase their volumes and get full utilization of their infrastructure investments. Moreover, there will be a lot more first movers that will continue to shape the industry in developing parts of the world. These first movers and entrepreneurs will benefit from being the first in a new market and thereby have the opportunity to sign up customers before anyone else and thereby build the necessary volumes that will make their investments profitable. By being the first in a region and having been able to capture the base load (or base flow) of LNG, you will make it hard for competitors to enter. But this is not without risk. As so many things are changing, there will also be a lot of first movers whose investments, for various reasons, may not be able to attract the volumes and will therefore remain unprofitable. In order to reduce the risk and to ensure successful projects, the team or consortium setting out to develop the project should ideally include experts from all the segments starting from the molecule providers, shipping, permitting and local community knowledge, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) and operations & maintenance. Wärtsilä s LNG solutions team can coordinate the work of such a diverse team as well as provide the complete EPC and operations & maintenance of LNG terminals. 11 Comparing Various LNG to Power Solutions for Myanmar 2017

12 5. Case Myanmar 5.1 LNG logistics Now let us illustrate the LNG to Power solutions discussed so far through a fictive case, loosely based on a few sites in Myanmar and assumptions about these sites and the logistic chain. We will estimate the cost price of gas for two alternative project configurations and examine the effects of our preferences: In Alternative 1 we choose a preference for low CAPEX In Alternative 2 we choose a preference for low OPEX As per the map in Figure 13 we have selected three different sites in Myanmar. The main parameters of the locations are described below. Nga Yoke Kaung: Located near the city of Pathein (350,000 habitants) with basic industry, universities and some tourism. LNG consumers: 50 MW power plant running at Pf = 80% (average load 40 MW) Will provide power for local population and industry Site quality: No existing marine infrastructure. Otherwise suitable for an onshore terminal. Marine data: Deep water (10 m) near shore, location fairly sheltered for winds except from South. Risk for cyclones, flooding and earthquakes. No tugs and no local port authority. Other infrastructure: Pathein offers little industry and relatively low skill workforce. Yangon: Major city with a population of six million. It is the country s centre for industry, trade, tourism, etc. Chronic power shortages currently limit the factories operating hours. LNG consumers: 125 MW power plant running at Pf = 80% (average load 100 MW). Site quality: Slightly sloped water front, soft soil, low environmental and social impact. Suitable for an onshore terminal. Marine data: Close to river mouth, water depth 8 m, considerable traffic. The tide is quite strong. Fairly well protected from wind in normal conditions. Risk for cyclones, flooding and earthquakes. Pilotage required. Other infrastructure: Workforce capable of civil infrastructure works. 12 Comparing Various LNG to Power Solutions for Myanmar 2017

13 Dawei: Dawei has approximately 150,000 inhabitants. Dawei is the proposed site for a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) with a deep sea port (which we in this case study assume has already been built). LNG consumers: 75 MW power plant running at Pf = 66% (average load 50 MW) providing electricity for industry during the day and for the inhabitants of Dawei primarily in the morning and evening. Site quality: Deepwater port, good soil conditions, industrial zoning. There are plans for a large onshore LNG terminal or an FSRU, but an intermediate solution is needed in order to enable industry to start producing in the SEZ. Therefore the investors have envisioned a floating storage and regasification barge (FSRB). Marine data: 14 m sea depth, existing breakwater, sheltered quay where LNGC and FSRB can be positioned alongside the quay. Extreme monsoons may cause flooding, but cyclones and earthquakes are less likely in this part of Myanmar. Other infrastructure: Good availability of heavy lifting equipment. Site Nga Yoke Kaung Yangon Dawei Power need 50 MW at Pf 80% 125 MW at Pf 80% 75 MW at Pf 66% Total LNG consumption 57,400 TPA (10,400 m 3 /month) 144,000 TPA (26,000 m 3 /month) 71,700 TPA (13,000 m 3 /month) Average daily LNG 342 m consumption 854 m m 3 Table 2: Calculation of total LNG consumption at each site The total combined offtake is 272,500 TPA. We assume that the LNG price FOB Singapore is oil linked according to the following formula: Brent price x 14.5% slope, which with an oil price of 55 USD/bbl would result in an LNG price of 7.98 USD/mmBtu. This price is not based on information from the supplier, but as small-scale LNG pricing seldom is transparent, we have chosen a simplified formula. When examining the sites and planning the logistic chain, we encounter a challenge. The size of carrier that would be needed to make a milk run of all the sites work cannot according to our (fictive) site description reach the Yangon site due to draught limitations. The solution is to create a hub terminal in Dawei and distribute the LNG from there in a smaller vessel to the other sites. 13 Comparing Various LNG to Power Solutions for Myanmar 2017

14 Fig. 12: The map showing three different sites in Myanmar Fig 13: Coral Energy, an example of a 15,600 m 3 LNG carrier with Wärtsilä dual-fuel engines For Alternative 1, where we prefer low CAPEX, we need to keep the terminals as small as possible. We calculate that we can make do with an intermediate terminal with 22,500 m 3 capacity that would be serviced by a 15,600 m 3 LNGC going back and forth to Singapore. For this size of terminal, the FSRB envisioned by the investors will be possible. There will be approximately 8.5 days between filling the tank in Dawei. Moreover, a 5500 m 3 LNGC would do a milk run on the route Dawei Yangon Nga Yoke Kaung. Such a vessel has a design draught that would enable it to travel to the Yangon site. The terminals in Yangon and Nga Yoke Kaung can make do with fairly little reserve capacity since the milk run is short and the power plant owners have opted for dual-fuel power plants which if needed can run on liquid fuels.

15 For Alternative 2, where we prefer low OPEX, we focus on finding a less expensive way of delivering LNG. Hypothetically, we could look for a ship owner that can offer a larger LNG carrier. This would of course come at a higher day rate than the 15,600 m 3 LNGC in alternative 1, but this time we manage to sign a flexible agreement that allows us to charter the vessel only for the time period when we need it. With a 45,000 m 3 LNGC, we can extend the time between filling the tank in Dawei from 8.5 days to 25 days. The logistics for the Dawei Yangon Nga Yoke Kaung milk run remain unchanged.

Main dimensions and draught requirement for various sizes of Wärtsilä standard LNG carriers With a longer supply interval, however, it would also make sense to have more reserve capacity at Dawei, so we increase it from four days in Alternative 1 to eight days in Alternative 2. This would require us to build a 60,000 m 3 terminal in Dawei at considerably higher CAPEX. The larger LNG storage capacity available gives the power plant investors reassurance that gas will always be available and they decide to prioritize efficiency over dual-fuel capabilities and choose to invest in a gas power plant rather than the dual-fuel power plant that they originally planned. The terminal investors also decide that rather than having two 30,000 m 3 FSRB, it would be acceptable to build the terminal as a permanent onshore solution. Can this investment be recovered through the more flexible charter agreement?

We will use these gas prices in the next chapter to calculate the cost of electricity. 18 Comparing Various LNG to Power Solutions for Myanmar 2017

19 4.2 Cost of electricity LNG to Power Below we list the estimated EPC costs for the various power plants including the civil work and possible soil preparations. We have used values typical for Wärtsilä power plants efficiency and operating cost, showing their impact on the price of the produced electricity. The basic assumption is that the jetty, terminal facilities and power plant systems are located in the same area. This will be very effective when the entire project is being executed under a single EPC contract, allowing both LNG terminal and power plant to be constructed in parallel to shorten overall construction time. The cost of fuel which is the biggest cost contributor, especially in baseload power plants, is then calculated based on the power plant efficiency and the gas price at power plant inlet from Table 9: The average power output is the actual electricity available for sale after the high voltage transformer at the point of connection to the purchaser s electrical grid. As these plants run at a variable load, depending on their power purchase agreement and actual demand from the grid, this is then converted into an annual average load. Power plant average efficiency (average fuel consumption) is also adjusted to the same operational conditions with lot of efficiency losses coming from start and stops and part loading. Total power plant CAPEX Total power plant investment comprises the EPC contract value, mobilisation costs and other up-front costs, such as project development, land purchase and connection costs. Power plant operating costs (OPEX) The biggest operating cost is fuel. Other operating costs are lube oil consumption along with variable and fixed operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Wärtsilä combustion engines typically consume around 0.3 g/kwh of lube oil during operation. Lube oil typically costs around 1.50 USD/litre. Variable O&M cost for these type of plants are around 6 USD/ MWh; including consumable spare parts and manpower for service activities and operation.

21 6. Conclusion When planning an LNG to Power project, it is important to understand how the whole LNG logistics and value chain will affect the final cost of power. To illustrate the process and the alternative solutions we have taken a few different type of requirements and site locations where we aim to convert LNG to Power in the most optimal way. The study shows that the cost of produced electricity can be kept at a reasonable level by careful selection of the site. A good site should have existing structures that can be utilised e.g. harbour facilities, deep enough water for LNG carrier access, existing industrial area making development and construction easier, good land access and a location with good soil bearing capacity. All of this will help reduce the initial infrastructure investment. After selecting the site it is important to choose the most optimal solution based on the conditions at the site. The landed cost of LNG can be reduced by clustering together several consumers and thereby increasing the volumes. This allows for better purchasing price and using larger sized LNG carrier which is reducing the specific shipping costs. Looking at the total fuel cost, the purchase price of LNG has by large the biggest impact. It is worth shopping around to find the cheapest supplier. The shipping component of the cost may contribute to a fairly larger part of the final LNG cost as well, unless it is well planned. The impact of the terminal CAPEX cost, which may seem high at the start of the project, has usually a quite low impact on the lifecycle cost. In this example, the calculations show that the effects of the more flexible charter agreement were considerable. For Nga Yoke Kuang, we managed to reduce the cost price of gas by 0.60 USD/mmBtu, which might have a decisive impact on the financial feasibility of the entire project. Also for the other sites, we managed to reduce the costs despite the effects of significantly higher CAPEX of the terminal. This case study shows that judging a project s feasibility simply by looking at CAPEX can be extremely misleading. One can make significant improvements by designing a logistical chain with a good fit with regards to distances, gas consumption and the sizes of available ships. Such optimization should also examine the effects of even the slightest reduction of charter rates or LNG prices on the final cost price of gas. Then regarding the final electricity tariff, it can be seen that fuel cost dominates the tariff in the plants with a high power factor, while the fixed costs are almost negligible. In a power plant with a low power factor (for example peaking plants or renewable energy followers), the CAPEX and fixed costs ofcourse play a bigger role. 21 Comparing Various LNG to Power Solutions for Myanmar 2017
