Consumers in Malaysia are set to enjoy competitive pricing and efficient services in gas supply, thanks to the Gas Supply (Amendment) Bill 2016 passed by the Dewan Rakyat today.
The amendment is set to enhance competition with the participation of third parties in the gas supply industry by implementing Third Party Access (TPA).
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Abdul Wahid Omar, in winding up debate on the bill, said the gas supply industry is currently monopolised by existing industry players such as Petronas Gas Bhd and Gas Malaysia Bhd.
“Currently, the only party which supplies gas through pipeline transmission is Petronas, the nation’s natural gas producer which sells gas to other parties such as Gas Malaysia Bhd.

Petronas Gas Bhd (PGB) recorded profit after tax of RM1.7 billion despite declining crude oil prices, ringgit depreciation and a challenging economy.
Its chairman Datuk Manharlal Ratilal said 2014 was a strong year for the company in terms of performance and revenue.
“Overall, 2014 was a strong year for PGB as it has generated RM4.4 billion in revenue, a 13 per cent or RM500 million increase from last year.
“Our market capitalization closed at RM44 billion at year end, making PGB one of the largest corporations on Bursa Malaysia. Dividend paid was 55 sen per ordinary share.”
The improved performance was mainly attributed to its full year operation from its liquefied natural gas (LNG) Regasification Terminal in Sungai Udang, Malacca as well as Gas Transportation Agreements with Petronas.

AMRESEARCH expects Petronas Gas Bhd to reach a final investment decision (FID) on the Pengerang liquefied natural gas regasification terminal (RGT) by the end of the year, following Petronas’ FID for the Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (Rapid).
AmResearch’s optimism is hinged on the fact that Petronas Gas will likely hold the controlling equity stake in the RGT while its other partners, possibly Dialog and Vopak, will have the remaining stake.
AmResearch is sticking to its “hold” call on Petronas Gas with an unchanged fair value of RM24.40 per share, implying a 2015 price to earnings ratio of 27 times.

Dateline 2014-02-10, The Edge:
Petronas Gas Bhd (PetGas)’s net profit jumped 33% year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM394 million in the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2013, from RM295 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Revenue also rose 13% y-o-y to RM1.028 billion, from RM909 million.
The company proposed a final dividend of 40 sen per ordinary share under a single tier system for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2013. This amounts to RM791 million.
In a statement to Bursa Malaysia, PetGas said the profit increase was in line with the increase in revenue. In addition, there was higher other income and share of profit from associate and joint ventures.
The firm also said its larger profit was due to lower tax expense resulting from a change in deferred tax estimates. This came on the back of a lower future statutory tax rate.
PetGas said its revenue increase was largely due to regasification revenue. This followed commencement of the LNG Regasification Terminal operations in the second quarter last year and higher gas transportation revenue.

THE era of cheap energy has ended and Malaysia has to face the fact that it has to move on to an open market regime, targeted to be implemented by 2019, said Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas).
The national oil company, by way of its wholly-owned subsidiary Petronas Gas Bhd (PGB), has recorded revenue foregone due to regulated gas pricing at a cumulative RM199.9 billion since 1997, with 2013’s first three quarters making up RM20.29 billion alone.
“What we want to do is to move our regulated gas market towards an open market so that we can enjoy competitive pricing. In order to achieve this we need to gradually phase out our regulated market module now,” said Petronas general manager for Malaysia gas management Ezhar Yazid Jaafar during a media briefing, here, recently.
He explained that in preparation for an open market module, the government is increasingly decreasing the amount of gas consumption subsidy, which has a significant impact on the increment of the electric tariff from 33.54 sen/kWj to 38.53 sen/kWj.
