Feb 3 (LNGJ) - LA Storage, a subsidiary of Sempra Energy and its Cameron LNG export plant near Hackberry in Louisiana, has filed with the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for permission to build new salt-dome storage facilities capable of providing about 20 billion cubic feet of working gas capacity to meet the needs of Cameron and other Gulf Coast energy plants.

   The application for the Hackberry Storage Project requests a certificate of convenience and necessity from FERC no later than the end of 2021, with plans to begin the storage service by around the first-quarter of 2024. “Once placed into service, the project will include four salt-dome storage caverns, interconnecting pipelines, compression and other facilities to serve the needs of LNG facilities, electric generation, industrial customers, utilities and other customers in the region,” LA Storage told the regulator.
