Cameron LNG, Entergy sign MoU to cut emissions from electricity

Cameron LNG has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Entergy Louisiana to negotiate the terms for a new electric service agreement (ESA), it said on December 7. The ESA is to reduce Scope 2 emissions from the electricity Cameron LNG purchases from Entergy.

“The MoU we have signed allows us to memorialise an agreement to bring on enough renewable power to offset the emissions for our facility, including the Train 4 expansion, when all renewable generations phases are added to the supply portfolio,” said Whit Fairbanks, president of Cameron LNG.

The MoU is non-binding and sets forth a framework for Entergy Louisiana and Cameron LNG to finalise and sign a minimum 20-year long-term agreement for the procurement of new renewable generation resources in Louisiana.

Cameron LNG is a 13.5mn metric tons/year LNG export facility operating in Hackberry. The proposed expansion would include an additional liquefaction train with a maximum production capacity of approximately 6.75mn mt/yr that is planned to utilise electric compression, equivalent to adding approximately 300 MW of demand to the Entergy Louisiana system.
