Extended transmission rebuild after hurricane complicates Cameron LNG restart

摘要

Transmission lines in southwest Louisiana that were severely damaged by Hurricane Laura, cutting power to Sempra Energy's Cameron LNG, will take an extended period to be repaired, utility Entergy said Sept. 11. The update raises uncertainty about when the export facility will be able to resume production. Gas deliveries to the terminal have been at zero since the day before the Category 4 storm came ashore on the US Gulf Coast Aug. 27. Cameron LNG relies on power purchased from Entergy, and widespread outages in the area have continued. Some 69,000 Entergy customers, including the Cameron facility in Hackberry, south of Lake Charles, remained without power Sept. 11. Cheniere Energy's Sabine Pass terminal, in a different part of Cameron Parish, produces its power on-site, helping it get back up and running more quickly. It resumed production Sept. 9.
