Final EIS for Aguirre Offshore GasPort Expected This Year

The U.S. FERC said that it plans to issue a final environmental impact statement for the Aguirre Offshore GasPort on December 19.

FERC also revealed that the 90-day federal authorization decision deadline is March 19, 2015.

Excelerate Energy and the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) have recently executed the definitive agreements for the procurement, construction and operation of the Aguirre Offshore GasPort terminal.

The agreements include the provision of one of Excelerate’s floating storage and regasification units (FSRU) specifically designed to provide closed-loop regasification services, together with the design, construction and operation of an offshore terminal for the berthing of the FSRU and the reception and transfer of LNG from a wide array of LNG carriers.
