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. 1 Eagle LNG Partners Jacksonville LLC, 168 FERC ¶ 61,181 (2019) (Order).
