Big Green Says FERC Ruling Could Impact NFE’s Wyalusing LNG Plan

New Fortress Energy (NFE), which likes to build and own as much of the LNG supply chain as possible, built and operates an LNG import terminal in San Juan, Puerto Rico. After the facility was up and running, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) dinged the company, asking for an explanation as to why they built it without FERC "Mother May I?" permission. New Fortress responded last July saying FERC told them no permission was needed (see New Fortress Pushes Back Against FERC re Puerto Rico LNG Facility). After mulling the matter over for eight months, FERC ruled last week that indeed it does have permission after all. Anti-fossil fuelers are hailing that decision as a possible indicator that FERC will also insert itself in NFE's plans to build and operate an LNG plant in Wyalusing, PA, and a related export dock in Gibbstown, NJ.
