PG&E Exec: LNG, Gas Supply/Demand Issues Involve All of West

摘要

While the Pacific Northwest clearly needs new natural gas supplies in the long term, including liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports, no single state, nor the hydroelectric-rich region as a whole, has enough demand to support the economics for new pipelines or LNG terminals, according to analyses done by San Francisco-based Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E). The major new supply projects need to be conceived and designed to serve the broader West, PG&E has concluded.
