Background
Northeast Gateway Deepwater Port consists of a "dual submerged turret-loading buoy system and an approximately 16-mile pipeline connecting to the existing subsea HubLine pipeline operated by Algonquin Gas Transmission." The pipeline is capable of delivering natural gas at a rate of up to 800 MMcf/d. The facility is located 13 miles from shore in the Massachusetts Bay.[4] The terminal is connected to the Northeastern natural gas grid through a pipeline lateral built by Algonquin Gas Transmission.[4] Northeast Gateway Deepwater Port is owned and operated by Excelerate Energy.[5] The Northeast Gateway Deepwater Port was first operational in 2008.[6]
The offshore facility has varied in its levels of imports over the years. It imported several cargoes from 2008 to 2010, but no cargoes from 2011 to 2014. It brought volumes in for deliveries into the New England market in early 2015 and early 2016, during the high-demand peak winter months; but then no cargoes in 2017 or 2018. It provided volumes in early 2019 during several high demand cold weather days. In 2020 and 2021, it brought no cargoes in, but it provided volumes in early 2022 during a period of cold weather in the region, with high spot natural gas and power market prices.[7][8][9][10] According to the 2024 GIIGNL report, no vessel is chartered at the facility.[11] As of August 2026, the facility remains idled.
