CHPE LLC has submitted an application to the Department of Energy to amend its Presidential Permit, seeking to increase the project's capacity from 1,000 MW to 1,250 MW. This request follows a study from the New York Independent System Operator which confirmed the project could handle the increased load without harming the transmission grid's reliability. People interested in commenting or intervening on this permit amendment must submit their responses by March 31, 2021. The DOE requires a public interest determination and favorable recommendations from the Secretaries of State and Defense before any amendment can be finalized.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has extended the public comment period for the 2024 LNG Export Study from 60 days to 90 days, allowing submissions until March 20, 2025. This extension provides more time for the public to review and comment on how U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports impact the economy, energy, and environment. The DOE has received a large volume of comments and believes the extended timeframe will benefit stakeholders by giving them additional opportunity to provide feedback. Comments can be submitted electronically or by mail, but electronic submissions are encouraged to ensure timely receipt.
