Backers

Backers of the beleaguered Weaver’s Cove liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal proposed for Fall River, MA, recently released an economic analysis of the region’s gas supply and demand outlook. The analysis says the project would lead to lower gas prices, as well as lower power prices since much of New England’s power comes from gas-fired generators.

Backers of a proposed 400 MW utility-scale solar thermal plant have sited the project near the path of major interstate natural gas pipeline and electric transmission corridors, illustrating where they and competitors likely will be looking to site similar solar-thermal developments.

In a sign that the long-awaited Mackenzie Gas Pipeline (MGP) might yet be built, Calgary-based MGM Energy Corp. agreed to ship 200 MMcf/d on the pipeline backers’ proposed Mackenzie Gathering System (MGS). The agreement also gives MGM the option to own a share of the planned gathering system.

Backers of the state’s most advanced proposal to build an offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal stormed into a California State Lands Commission hearing in Oxnard, CA, Monday, touting 18 potential large buyers of its supplies along with nearly 100 groups supporting its Cabrillo Port Project, 14 miles offshore Southern California between Malibu and Oxnard in Ventura County.

Eyeing regional markets, the backers of Oregon’s only proposed coastal liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminal told state regulators Thursday that the Jordan Cove LNG Project seeks broad interconnections with interstate natural gas pipelines traversing the area and gas storage in northern California, Washington and Oregon. The $500 million facility is slated for Coos Bay along the Pacific Coast in south-central Oregon.

The major proponents and business backers of California and North Baja California liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminals have joined a business-backed coalition that hired Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s chief political advisor to run a $1 million public relations/advertising campaign. Their aim is to win support from the general public for the import of new gas supplies in the form of LNG.
