PetGas looks beyond Malaysia’s gas needs

September 13, 2021

Dateline 2021-08-16, Malaysiain Reserve:

PETRONAS Gas Bhd (PetGas) had a good run in the 2010s.

However, this decade may very well present a different landscape. For one, Malaysia’s gas industry market is expecting full liberalisation in the distribution segment in 2022 (see sidebar), with another regulatory review in 2023-2025. While PetGas’ monopoly in the gas infrastructure space remains unchanged, policy changes may set the tone for future returns from its regulated businesses of gas transport (pipeline) and regasification.
