More LNG Entered the Market
Photo: Distrigas
• Increased volumes this winter – drawn by strong regional prices (and low world prices)
• Distrigas and Canaport recorded steady throughput
• Excelerate’s Northeast Gateway offshore Gloucester, MA had first cargo in over 4 years, delivering 1 Bcf on Jan. 1
• Still capacity constraints on pipelines from Marcellus, so “east-end LNG” proved important
