The developer of a large gas export terminal in Louisiana can move ahead with a limited set of construction activities, federal regulators said Friday, a week after they reaffirmed the project’s authorization.
Venture Global can proceed with a handful of activities tied to the company’s CP2 LNG project planned in the southwest part of the state, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said in a brief letter signed by an official in the agency’s gas branch.
Those activities include the construction of temporary facilities, like access roads and parking areas, as well as site preparation and the installation of water wells, the letter said.
The approval, or “limited notice to proceed with construction,” does not give CP2 “the authority to construct other project facilities at the LNG terminal,” it continued. A separate letter from the commission’s LNG branch, also issued Friday, said Venture Global could start on construction activities tied to a storm surge wall.
