The restoration of a quorum at the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which gives approval to LNG export projects and natural gas pipelines and infrastructure nationwide, has moved a step closer.
The US Center for Liquefied Natural Gas and other Washington-based industry bodies have welcomed the nomination of two candidates by President Donald Trump to fill vacancies on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and return the regulator of LNG and other projects to a quorum to take decisions.
The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the permit provider for all LNG, pipeline and energy projects nationwide, has a new woman Chairman who is a Democrat from Massachusetts. She was nominated to the post by President Donald Trump after incumbent Norman Bay resigned.
