Natural gas highlights
- Eastern Shore received authorisation to place into service its White Oak Lateral Project which will provide 55.2 million ft3/d of capacity to serve Calpine Energy’s proposed 309 MW power plant in Dover, DL.
- Dominion Cove Point received authorisation to construct and operate an LNG export terminal (825 million ft3/d) at Cove Point’s existing import terminal in Calvert County, MD, and pipeline facilities to provide 860 million ft3/d of capacity on Cove Point’s existing pipeline to serve the proposed terminal.
