A US subsidiary of Russian monopoly Gazprom won federal approval today to import liquefied natural gas into the US Mid-Atlantic region. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission voted in favour of a deal between Gazprom Marketing & Trading USA and a US affiliate of Norwegian state-run Statoil to import the gas through Dominion Resources’ LNG terminal in Cove Point, Maryland.
As much as 200 million cubic feet of gas per day would be imported under the 1 December deal, according to a Bloomberg report.
