Piedmont Natural Gas to build LNG facility in North Carolina

Piedmont Natural Gas, the Charlotte-headquartered energy service company, plans to build and operate a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Robeson County, North Carolina.

The company said the facility will provide supply during peak usage days when extremely low temperatures create a higher-than-normal demand for natural gas.

Construction of the 1 billion-cubic-foot (Bcf) facility is expected to begin in the summer of 2019 with an estimated completion date in the summer of 2021.

The project, estimated to cost approximately $250 million, will be the fourth LNG facility Piedmont owns and operates. The other facilities are located in Nashville, Tennesee, Bentonville and Huntersville, North Carolina.
