The developer of the CP2 natural gas export terminal in Louisiana can begin construction of a gas-fired compressor station tied to the project, federal regulators said Monday.
In a letter to Venture Global, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission granted a November request to commence work on the Moss Lake compressor station in Louisiana’s Calcasieu Parish.
FERC’s approval is another positive step for the CP2 liquefied natural gas project, which has a proposed export capacity of at least 20 million metric tons annually. The project was delayed by the Department of Energy amid a high-profile debate during the Biden administration over the merits of increasing U.S. LNG exports, though FERC approved the project in June 2024.
Venture Global “has provided the information necessary to meet the applicable conditions” of the commission’s2024 authorization of the CP2 project, Shannon Crosley, an environmental project manager at FERC, said in the Monday letter.
