Hawaii Gas receives FERC approval to import LNG

摘要

Hawaii Gas has received a decision from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that could allow the company to bring LNG into the state to reduce its reliance on crude oil, West Hawaii Today reported. "Now that FERC is releasing jurisdiction for this phase of the operation to the state, Hawaii Gas will complete the process of obtaining the appropriate state and local permits so that the service can commence before the anticipted closure date of the Tesoro refinery," said Jeff Kissel, CEO of Hawaii Gas.
