AES Ocean Express Requests Extension of In-Service Date for Pipeline
AES Ocean Express LLC has requested an extension of the in-service date for its FERC-approved natural gas pipeline from the Bahamas to Florida. AES requests that the date be moved from Jan. 29, 2007 to Jan. 29, 2011. According to AES’ motion filed Dec. 21, the Bahamian government’s delay in implementing LNG regulations in the Bahamas has prevented AES from obtaining permits necessary to start construction. The filing is available in the FERC e-Library in Docket No. CP02-90-000.
