FERC authorizes Eagle LNG for Jacksonville export facility

The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued the order granting authorization for siting and constructing Eagle LNG Partners LLC’s proposed on-water Jacksonville LNG export facility.

The project would produce as much as 27.6 million tonnes/year of LNG for export. The facility and terminal, planned in Jacksonville, Fla., will have a production capacity of 1.65 million gpd of LNG with 12 million gal of LNG storage plus marine and truck-loading capabilities located on-site.

The project is “one of only a handful of greenfield LNG project proponents to obtain their FERC order, and the only project devoted to provisioning small-scale LNG projects in the Caribbean basin,” said Sean Lalani, president of Eagle LNG, in a press statement.

At a construction cost of $500 million, in addition to providing US gas to the Caribbean basin, once the facility is completed and its operations combined with Eagle LNG’s Maxville LNG Facility and the Talleyrand LNG bunker station, Eagle LNG will be providing the lowest cost LNG for bunkering in the US Southeast, the company said.
