DOE/EA-2203: Enviromental Assessment

Venture Global Plaquemines LNG Uprate Amendment Project; Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (DOE/EA-2203) for the Venture Global Plaquemines LNG Uprate Amendment Project (Amendment), proposed by Venture Global Plaquemines LNG, LLC (Plaquemines LNG). Plaquemines LNG requests authorization to increase the authorized peak liquefaction capacity of the existing Plaquemines LNG Export Terminal (Terminal) in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. 

Plaquemines LNG proposes to increase the Terminal’s authorized peak liquefaction capacity achievable under optimal conditions from 24.0 million metric tons per annum (MTPA) to 27.2 MTPA of liquified natural gas (LNG) – or from approximately 1,240 billion cubic feet to 1,405 billion cubic feet per year (natural gas equivalence).

DOE participated as a cooperating agency in the preparation of this EA.
