Magnolia LNG LLC; Application for Amendment to Long-Term Authorization To Export Liquefied Natural Gas to Non-Free Trade Agreement Nations
Document Number: 2019-00723
Type: Notice
Date: 2019-02-01
Agency: Department of Energy
The Office of Fossil Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE) gives notice of receipt of an application for amendment (Application), filed on December 31, 2018, by Magnolia LNG LLC (Magnolia LNG). Previously, on November 30, 2016, in DOE/FE Order No. 3909, DOE/FE authorized Magnolia LNG to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the proposed Magnolia LNG Terminal, to be located near Lake Charles, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana (Magnolia LNG Terminal), to any country with which the United States does not have a free trade agreement (FTA) requiring national treatment for trade in natural gas, and with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policies (non-FTA countries). DOE/FE Order No. 3909 authorizes Magnolia LNG to export LNG in a volume equivalent to 394.2 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/yr) of natural gas (1.08 Bcf per day) (Bcf/d). The Application requests a ``capacity increase,'' i.e., to increase Magnolia LNG's approved non-FTA export volume to a total requested volume of 449 Bcf/yr (1.23 Bcf/d), which Magnolia states is equivalent to 8.8 million metric tons per annum (mtpa). Magnolia LNG states that this proposed increase will align its non-FTA export volume with the maximum LNG production for the Magnolia LNG Terminal, as requested in an application filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Protests, motions to intervene, notices of intervention, and written comments are invited.

Refinements to Horizontal Market Power Analysis for Sellers in Certain Regional Transmission Organization and Independent System Operator Markets
Document Number: 2019-00459
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2019-02-01
Agency: Department of Energy, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is proposing to revise its regulations regarding the horizontal market power analysis required for market-based rate sellers that study certain Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) or Independent System Operator (ISO) markets and submarkets therein. This proposed modification of the Commission's horizontal market power analysis would relieve such sellers of the obligation to submit indicative screens when seeking to obtain or retain market-based rate authority. The Commission's regulations would continue to require market-based rate sellers that study an RTO, ISO, or submarket therein, to submit indicative screens for authorization to make capacity sales at market- based rates in any RTO/ISO market that lacks an RTO/ISO-administered capacity market subject to Commission-approved RTO/ISO monitoring and mitigation. For those RTOs and ISOs lacking an RTO/ISO-administered capacity market, we propose that Commission-approved RTO/ISO monitoring and mitigation no longer be presumed sufficient to address any horizontal market power concerns for capacity sales where there are indicative screen failures.
