The FERC has also authorized the Jordan Cove Energy Project, LP to site, construct and operate the Jordan Cove Energy LNG terminal.
Combined, the proposed Jordan Cove, Pacific Connector project is designed to import and transport up to 1 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day from the liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Coos Bay to Malin, Oregon. The project will provide an additional source of natural gas supply to markets in the Pacific Northwest, northern California and northern Nevada.
Pacific Connector and Jordan Cove originally filed their project applications with the FERC on September 4, 2007. The project received a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) from the FERC on May 1, 2009.
The proposed Jordan Cove Energy project is a LNG import terminal to be located in the port of Coos Bay in Oregon. When built, the facility will be capable of receiving LNG supplies from marine vessels and delivering natural gas through interconnecting pipelines to the Pacific Northwest and adjacent markets.
The Pacific Connector project includes interconnects to Williams’ majority-owned Northwest Pipeline near Myrtle Creek, Oregon. Avista Corporation’s distribution system near Shady Cove, Oregon, as well as Pacific Gas and Electric’s gas transmission system, Tuscarora Gas Transmission’s system and Gas Transmission Northwest’s system, all located near Malin, Oregon.
