After nearly four years of waiting, Houston liquefied natural gas company Annova LNG is pressing federal regulators to make a permit decision on its proposed export terminal at the Port of Brownsville.
In a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that was made public on Tuesday, Annova LNG CEO Omar Khayum reminded the agency that a July 18 deadline set by FERC "for all federal action" on the company's permit application has come and gone.
Annova LNG is seeking to build a liquefied natural gas export terminal at the deep South Texas waterway capable of producing up to 6 milion metric tons of the supercooled fuel per year. The company began the FERC prefiling process in March 2015 and filed its official application in July 2016.
"Our potential customers and investors routinely cite delay in commission action on the pending permit as a critical issue in their decision-making process on key commericial activity," Khayum wrote in his letter.
