The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) was the lead federal agency for evaluation and approval of the Alaska LNG Project. It required careful coordination with federal, state, and local agencies and extensive stakeholder engagement.
Alaska LNG Regulatory Status
On March 6, 2020, FERC staff issued the final Environmental Impact Statement for the Alaska LNG Project. Subsequent to that comprehensive analysis, FERC and cooperating agencies issued major permits for the project including FERC authorization to construct and operate the Alaska LNG Project. Tactical shorter term permits and authorizations will be obtained as needed based on the project schedule.
