FERC released a Supplement to the Downeast LNG Draft Environmental Impact Statement

2014 May 15

FERC released the Downeast LNG Final Environmental Impact Statement

2014 June 20

Downeast LNG announced in a press release that it will be pre-filing with FERC to apply for a new LNG project — to build LNG export capability, while eliminating one of the two previously-proposed LNG storage tanks.

2015 October 30

Downeast LNG asked to place permitting in abeyance until 2016 February 29 while investors examined the state of the market.

It does not take a financial genius to already know that there is no market for either of Downeast LNG's import or export proposals. Downeast LNG has apparently lost its investor, and Dean Girdis is frantically searching for someone else with more money than brains to throw money down his toilet.
—webmaster

2016 February 29 (Posted to FERC docket on 2016 March 1)

Downeast LNG asked FERC to extend permitting abeyance even longer — until 2016 June 1.

Apparently, Dean Girdis is having trouble finding new investors who are willing to throw away yet more money on his boondoggle project.
