LNG 수입 가격 3년만에 최저치…전기요금 내려가나<br /><br />The price South Korea's paying to import liquefied natural gas or LNG has dropped due to a global oversupply. <br />According to the Korea Energy Economics Institute and Yonhap News Agency on Monday, the price early this month was around four-dollars-40-cents per MMBtu, which stands for Million British Thermal Units. <br />The price was based on the Asian benchmark called Platts Japan Korea Marker. <br />This is far lower than last September's figure of around twelve dollars. <br />Analysts say this is because the U.S. has been increasing its exports of shale gas... and other countries like Australia and Egypt shipping more LNG as well. <br />
