Protest of Cheniere Sabine Pass
By Tyson Slocum
Sabine Pass—owned by Cheniere Energy and the private equity firms Blackstone Inc. and Brookfield Asset Management—applied for authorization to export an additional 899.46 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/yr) of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) from its Stage 5 expansion of its existing facility located at the Louisiana and Texas border. When added to its current capacity, Sabine Pass would have a total export capacity of 2,561.4 Bcf/yr.
The Cheniere/Blackstone/Brookfield request must be rejected as the additional requested export authorization threatens domestic supply shortages and will result in higher and more volatile domestic energy prices, and therefore is not in the public interest. Read the full filing here: SabinePass
