DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
[Docket No. CP17–41–001]
Eagle LNG Partners Jacksonville LLC;
Notice of Request for Extension of
Time
Take notice that on July 29, 2024,
Eagle LNG Partners Jacksonville LLC
(Eagle LNG) requested that the
Commission grant an extension of time,
until September 19, 2029, to construct
and place into service its Jacksonville
Project (Project) located in Jacksonville,
Florida as authorized by the
Commission in Docket No. CP17–41–
000.1 The Order required Eagle LNG to
complete construction of the Project and
make it available for service within five
years of the date of the Order, or by
September 19, 2024.
Eagle LNG states that the Jacksonville
Project has been impacted substantially
by the COVID–19 pandemic, which
began only six months after the issuance
of the Order. The COVID–19 pandemic
created an extremely challenging
environment for the negotiation and
execution of contracts. Those
impediments continued for some time
after the effects of the pandemic had
begun to subside in 2022.
Eagle LNG affirms that inflation and
supply chain issues brought on by the
COVID–19 pandemic have increased the
total installed cost of the Jacksonville
Project from what was forecast when
Eagle LNG first submitted the
Jacksonville Project application to the
Commission. Since many construction
companies are focused on larger scale
projects, and those willing to take on a
more modestly sized project are finding
it virtually impossible to hire skilled
tradesmen, Eagle LNG has found it
difficult to secure the services of a
contractor that will devote time to the
Jacksonville Project. Eagle LNG
anticipates that the construction of the
Jacksonville Project will take 24 to 36
months, with construction commencing
following a final investment decision to
be made. In order to make that final
investment decision, Eagle LNG and its
investors must be able to conclude that
the project’s FERC authorization
provides enough time to complete
construction of the Jacksonville Project.
This is the reason why Eagle LNG
requests that the FERC construction
completion deadline be extended to
September 19, 2029.
