Lake Charles LNG Export Project Gets Final Clearance From Ferc

摘要

Lake Charles LNG, a proposed three-train 15 million ton per year export project, now has a final go-ahead from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Ferc). Ferc's final environmental impact statement was released in August (NGW Aug.24'15). Ferc approval was the last remaining regulatory barrier standing in the way of the 2 billion cubic feet per day project, which is a joint venture between BG, Energy Transfer Equity and Energy Transfer Partners. Texas-based Energy Transfer is the existing owner of the regasification facility in Lake Charles, which will be converted into a liquefaction terminal, as has been done with a series of former regasification facilities in the region.
