Owned by Constellation Energy, the terminal's future is uncertain without a new gas purchaser to replace the Mystic plant. This development raises concerns about the short-term gas supply in New England and the region's ability to handle extreme weather events like last seasons winter storm Elliot or potential disruptions in the polar vortex, spilling extreme arctic air into New England. The Everett terminal plays a key role as it's one of the few facilities on the East Coast capable of processing large LNG tankers for local use. Besides serving the Mystic Station, it connects to the Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP) and Algonquin Gas Transmission systems, essential for supplying gas to about 12,000 MW of gas-fired power and meeting residential and commercial gas demands. The decision to close the Mystic facility came after the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) denied a complaint against ISO-New England's planning process for replacing the terminal. This situation underscores the complexities in maintaining a stable and reliable gas infrastructure in the region.
