On January 5, Downeast LNG submitted a request with FERC to begin the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) pre-filing process with respect to its proposed LNG terminal to be located at the confluence of Passamaquoddy Bay and the St. Croix River in Robbinston, Maine. The project will offer a natural gas sendout capacity of 500 MMcf/day and a peak of up to 625 MMcf/day, with potential future expansion up to 1 Bcf/day. The proposal includes a single, 26 mile pipeline interconnection with the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline in Maine, which has also filed with FERC to expand. Downeast LNG’s filing is available at the FERC e-Library under Docket No. PF06-13-000.
