The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) said today that it has received an application from Dominion Cove Point LNG on October 3 requesting long-term, multi-contract authorization to export up to 7.82 million metric tons per year of LNG to any country with which the United States does not have a free trade agreement.

“Dominion Cove Point LNG is requesting this authorization to act as an agent for others who hold title to the LNG pursuant to long-term contractual agreements with the other parties.”, DOE said.

Dominion Cove Point LNG is located on the Chesapeake Bay in Lusby and it is one of the nation’s largest LNG import terminals.
