Cove Point LNG is terminating a previously active capacity restriction (PPO) effective 2026-10-07 at 03:00. This restoration notice signals that prior feedgas delivery constraints at Cove Point are being lifted, restoring normal LNG export operations. No specific capacity figure is stated in the notice.
Trading note
Restoration of Cove Point LNG feedgas capacity removes a prior bearish domestic supply overhang; resumption of LNG exports is bullish for Henry Hub and tightens Appalachian/Mid-Atlantic basis (Eastern Gas South and Transco Zone 5), as gas previously retained onshore will now flow to the export terminal -- live capacity at COVE POINT PLANT (loc 10001, SI:SIQ) shows 0.013 Bcf/d currently scheduled against 1.80 Bcf/d operating capacity, confirming the terminal was running near zero under the prior restriction.
