FERC Tuesday gave Freeport LNG Development LP the green light to begin service at its liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal on Quintana Island, about 70 miles south of Houston.

FERC staff has issued a favorable environmental assessment on Phase II of the Freeport LNG project on Quintana Island south of Houston, saying that with appropriate mitigation the project — to increase LNG sendout from 1.75 Bcf/d (peak) to 2.5 Bcf/d — does not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment (CP06-361).
