LNG

Dominion Energy, the US company that started the Cove Point LNG export plant in Maryland and now focused on renewables, has closed the sale for around US$6.6 billion of the Ohio natural gas utility, East Ohio Gas Co, to Canadian pipelines and energy company Enbridge Inc.

The Balkan state of Croatia, part of the former Yugoslavia and which became a member of the European Union in 2013, will receive its first liquefied natural gas cargo from the United States on January 1 after a vessel left the Cove Point plant in Maryland headed for the Mediterranean.
