Liquefied natural gas: a diversification opportunity for the Northeast

Two key development factors
Time Development periods of 5 to 7 years are necessary A sector where just in time is impracticable Better be too soon than too late
Capital New infrastructure requires major capital The number of players is limited An investment environment with the least uncertainty is
favoured

Three issues at stake
Location of infrastructure
Regulatory framework
Long-term commitments

Challenges of the preliminary consultation
The promoter must consult the public very early in the formulation of the project
The site studies are still in their infancy The information on the project is general The community’s questions quickly become specific The promoter can’t have the answers The public is unhappy and suspicious An environment conducive to disinformation The dangers of slip-ups are great

Location: when we have a chance to work

Two main conclusions
Governments and industry must raise public awareness about the crucial importance of energy infrastructure
A long-term effort The regulatory agencies must be involved from the very
beginning in the consultation process Objective third party to explain the entire regulatory review process
(environment, safety, etc.) Meetings with the public and the key entities
(e.g.: city council)

Regulatory framework
The inherent project development risks are known and accepted by the promoters
The multiplicity of overlapping government regulations generates additional uncertainty
Development harmonization solutions: Structuring of the regulatory procedures Smart regulation
Still to be done : simplify the regulatory framework Precise rules, known from the outset

Long-term commitments
Infrastructure = $$$ = Long-term horizon
The past 20 years: An increasingly efficient, open and deregulated industry Proliferation of players, reign of the spot market Increasingly complex financial market
Recent developments Collapse of Enron et al Limited number of players with acceptable credit ratings Entry of the banks: financial and physical markets

Conclusion
Long term commitments from every players of the LNG chain, including LDCs, are a must.
