The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission proposed easing regulatory pathways for natural-gas pipelines and liquefied natural gas projects.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) proposed changes intended to ease the regulatory pathway for natural-gas pipelines and liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects. Utility Dive describes a proposal, not a finalized rule or approval of an individual project.

FERC Chairman Laura Swett framed the issue around moving gas to market. In the supplied excerpt, she said the current restriction on obtaining American gas was the ability to get it to market and associated infrastructure bottlenecks.

The excerpt provides no detailed eligibility thresholds, regulatory deadlines, project capacities, or quantified cost reductions. It also does not identify a particular data-center power project benefiting from the proposal.
