Cove Point authorised to export LNG commissioning cargoes

It has been made clear by officials that commencement of service has not been authorised at this time.

Dominion filed their request for authorisation in early November and has committed to filing weekly reports on its ongoing commissioning activities until commencement of service authorisation is granted by the FERC.

Production is expected to start during November and commissioning exports are predicted in the region of 250 billion ft³, with a maximum delay of 6 months.

Upon completion, the liquefaction facility will have a 5.25 million tpy LNG production capacity.
