The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has granted authorisation for Sabine Pass Liquefaction LLC and Sabine Pass LNG L.P. to commence service for liquefaction and export activities from Train 3 inside battery limits, Train 3 heavies removal unit, and Stage 2 outside battery limits.

FERC claims that the initial request complies with Environmental Condition 10 of both the Commission’s 16 April 2012 Order Granting Section 3 Authorisation, and the 2 August 2013 Order Amending Section 3 Authorisation.

The Commission claims that Sabine Pass has demonstrated that these facilities have been built in accordance with Commission approval and applicable standards, and can be expected to operate safely as designed.

Furthermore, FERC claims that, based on staff inspections, project areas within the terminal have proven to have been satisfactorily stabilised, and are in compliance with the terms of both the April and August orders.
