Officials approve two LNG facilities (MA & TX), reject R.I. expansion

[MaineDem]

WASHINGTON — Plans for new liquefied natural gas terminals in Massachusetts and Texas won federal approval on Thursday. An LNG project in Rhode Island was rejected as regulators said they tried to balance energy needs with public safety.

It was the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission´s first such rejection. Seven other projects have been approved since 2003.

Commissioners approved the Weaver´s Cove Energy project for Fall River, Mass., by a 3-1 vote. They said the plan met safety standards and would provide critically needed energy in New England. Residents and government officials have said the project would put the community at risk.
