EcoEléctrica doubles LNG flow
EcoEléctrica proposes to increase LNG send-out capacity from 250 gallons per minute (gpm) to 500 gpm between its Peñuelas, Puerto Rico terminal and the Crowley Puerto Rico truck loading facility. The company says this will meet rising local demand so communities, energy users, and businesses get faster, larger LNG deliveries, and the FERC environmental assessment found the project would not be a major federal action significantly affecting the human environment. The notice also says no major costs or delays are expected and the EA is available for public review.
