Elba Island is an existing LNG import terminal located on Elba Island, in Chatham County, Georgia. The initial authorization for the Elba Island facility was issued in 1972. LNG shipments ceased during the first half of 1980. In 2000, the project received Commission authorization to re-commission and renovate the LNG facilities. In 2003, the Commission issued an order authorizing the expansion of the facility, which included adding a second and third docking berth, a fourth cryogenic storage tank, and associated facilities. The expansion enabled an increase of working gas capacity and an increase of the firm sendout rate
