The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)—which has jurisdiction over the siting, construction and operation of LNG export facilities in the U.S.—reported that 18 projects, or 32 Bcf/d of export capacity, have obtained approval but not yet been built.
The details were updated by FERC on Jan. 24, just two days before the Biden administration announced initiation of a process to update assessments to decide if new LNG export authorization requests to non-free trade agreement countries fell under the scope of the “public interest.”
