Magnolia LNG Production Capacity Amendment
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a final supplemental EIS that evaluates the potential environmental impacts of a proposal to increase the production capacity for the Magnolia LNG Project in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. Magnolia LNG requested authorization to increase capacity from the 8 million tons per annum (MTPA) previously authorized by FERC to 8.8 MTPA.
Based on the EIS, which DOE adopted as DOE/EIS-0498, Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management issued a final opinion and order granting long-term authorization to export liquefied natural gas to non-Free-Trade Agreement nations. Appendix B of the Order is DOE’s NEPA amended record of decision.
