DISTRIGAS MASSACHUSETTS PROPOSES LNG TERMINAL MODIFICATIONS TO MEET MORE STRINGENT GAS QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS ON ALGONQUIN AND TENNESSEE PIPELINE SYSTEMS

摘要

Earlier this month, Distrigas of Massachusetts LLC (DOMAC) in a letter requested a determination by the Director of the FERC’s Office of Energy Projects that DOMAC's proposal to construct, install, and operate a heating value and Wobbe Index reduction (HVWIR) system at its liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Everett, Massachusetts is not subject to the Commission's mandatory pre-filing procedures. DOMAC currently purchases LNG imported by its affiliate, GDF SUEZ Gas NA LLC, from various international sources and resells the gas in liquid and vapor form to customers located throughout the northeastern U.S. DOMAC's customers include local distribution companies, gas marketers, electric generating plants, and direct end-users. Imported LNG is stored in two storage tanks and ultimately delivered as vapor to (1) the distribution system of Boston Gas Co. d/b/a National Grid; (2) the J-Lateral system of Algonquin Gas Transmission LLC; (3) the Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co.; and (4) the Constellation Mystic Power, LLC plant in Everett.
