Annova LNG, which is based in Houston has filed a request with the FERC to initiate a review of the potential development of a mid-scale natural gas liquefaction and transfer facility at the Port of Brownsville, TX. Exelon Generation is the majority owner of the Annova LNG Brownsville Project.
The project is contingent upon Annova successfully obtaining all necessary local, state and federal permits; acquisition of sufficient long-term customer commitments to buy LNG from the facility; and broad public support of the project in South Texas.
If built, the LNG terminal would sit beside the Brownsville Ship Channel on 650 acres designated by the Port of Brownsville for industrial use. The proposed site is about eight miles from the Gulf of Mexico in Cameron County, TX. The facility would be operational by 2020.
