Background

El Salvador LNG Terminal was a proposed LNG terminal in La Unión, El Salvador. The project is now cancelled. The Houston-based energy company Cutuco and Fonseca Energy announced in 2007 a planned construction of a 520 MW power plant and LNG terminal at the port of La Union, in El Salvador The terminal was to contain a tank with a capacity 160,000 cubic meters and then expand in the second phase up to 320,000 cubic meters. The proposal was consistently delayed and pushed back until 2016. Since then, the project has been officially cancelled due to local resistance and municipal opposition.
