USA: FERC Vacates Order Authorizing AES Sparrows Point LNG Project

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order vacating authority granted in 2009 to AES Sparrows Point LNG and Mid-Atlantic Express to site, construct, and operate a liquefied natural gas marine import terminal and associated facilities in Baltimore County, Maryland.

AES Sparrows Point LNG and Mid-Atlantic Express said recently that they have decided not to proceed with plans to build a pipeline to deliver natural gas to southeast Pennsylvania from a proposed LNG import terminal and requested FERC to “vacate the Section 3 authorization and Section 7 certificate granted to AES in the December 17, 2009.”

To date, no construction activities have been undertaken, and thus there are no facilities in service.
