Entergy Louisiana signed a deal on Thursday to supply power to the proposed Lake Charles LNG project in southwest Louisiana.
Under the contract, Entergy Louisiana could supply up to 255 megawatts of power to the LNG project that is being developed by BG Group with Energy Transfer Equity and Energy Transfer Partners, which owns the existing LNG regasification facility in Lake Charles, Entergy said in a statement.
BG Group is responsible for selecting the engineering, procurement and construction contractor and managing construction and will operate and be responsible for the LNG offtake from the facility upon completion.
Energy Transfer will own the facility and is responsible for the financing of the project, with a final investment decision targeted for 2016.
