The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Tuesday approved Southern LNG Co. LLC‘s request for the agency to vacate part of an order that authorized the second phase of an expansion of the Elba Island liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal in Georgia. In its August request for the Commission to vacate a portion of the September 2007 order approving the project, the El Paso Corp. subsidiary said BG LNG Services LLV, which was expected to subscribe to the expansion capacity, did not intend to do so, rendering the expansion no longer necessary (see Daily GPI, Aug. 3). The second phase of the Elba Island expansion called for the addition of 4.22 Bcf of storage capacity and 495 MMcf/d of deliverability, according to Southern LNG. The first phase, which went into operation in 2010, added 4.22 Bcf of LNG storage and 405 MMcf/d of firm sendout capacity.
