The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has updated their timeline for completing the environmental assessment of the Black Bayou Gas Storage Project. Initially expected by February 14, 2025, the assessment is now scheduled for release on April 18, 2025, due to delays in receiving necessary information from Black Bayou Gas Storage, LLC. Following the assessment's release, there’s a 90-day window for Federal Authorization decisions, set to end by July 17, 2025. For updates and further information, the public can subscribe to the Commission's eSubscription service or contact the Office of Public Participation.
Simple Explanation
The government agency that checks the safety and rules of building a big gas storage site called Black Bayou has decided to take longer than they first planned to look at everything. They will finish their check later because they need more info from the builders, and people can find updates online or ask for more details if they need help understanding what's happening.
