After reviewing a collection of private documents about commissioning of Venture Global LNG Inc.’s Calcasieu Pass export terminal, several of its foundational customers are again urging FERC not to approve an extension.

Calcasieu Pass LNG

Venture Global has been seeking an additional year to commission its Calcasieu Pass liquefied natural gas facility since February, the same month the facility was expected to be commercially operational. In the months since, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s decision has been held up by a legal back and forth over documents Calcasieu Pass contract holders have said they need before being able to fully comment on Venture Global’s request.

After an agreement to share the information was reached in administrative court, comments from Edison SpA LLC, Galp Energia SA, PKN Orlen SA, Repsol SA and Shell plc were published earlier this month. In their responses, counsel for the companies asked FERC staff to deny the extension.
