Background
Everett Marine is the longest operating import terminal in the U.S. The terminal is owned and operated by Distrigas of Massachusetts (DOMAC), a subsidiary of GDF Suez North America. As of 2013, the terminal supplied about 20% of New England’s natural gas demand every year.[2] The tanks at Everett Marine Terminal can store enough liquefied natural gas to both heat and light the state of Massachusetts for one day.[3]
In December 2022, Politico Pro reported that the potential closure of the facility in 2024, due to economic factors, could threaten New England's energy security.[4][5]
In July 2024, it was reported that the facility would remain open through 2030 after gas supply deals were signed with three New England utilities and approved by Massachusetts authorities.[6]
