The LNG Project in Uruguay comprises two main components: a) to develop a regasification terminal near the existing port of Montevideo city and, b) to contract the LNG supply related with the consumptions in the electric and non-electric sectors.

Regarding the implementation of the physical assets of the terminal, UTE and ANCAP (*) formed a special purpose company- named Gas Sayago S.A.- that is now facing the selection and contracting process in a BOOT basis with international groups.
