FERC Vacates Corpus Christi LNG Import Terminal Authorization
Posted: June 11, 2012
On Friday, FERC issued an order vacating Corpus Christi LNG's authority to construct an LNG import terminal near Corpus Christi, Texas. FERC's order is in response to Corpus Christi's failure to place the facilities in operation by the April 18, 2012 deadline. The order also vacates authority to construct the Cheniere Corpus Christi pipeline, which was to interconnect the LNG terminal to several interstate pipelines. The order can be found on FERC's eLibrary under Docket No. CP04-37.
