A coalition of LNG suppliers have filed briefings at FERC expressing concern with a FERC judge’s ruling that, if adopted by the Commission, would impose stricter gas quality standards for all LNG entering Florida Gas Transmission’s distribution system. The suppliers told the Commission that the limits may hinder U.S. ability to compete for Atlantic Basin LNG supply. Sempra Global, an affiliate of Sempra Energy, said that 57% of supply imported through the Atlantic Basin would not meet the stringent standards. Details are available in Friday’s Platts LNG Daily.
