Pivotal LNG Northeast expansion supports region with new, cleaner energy solutions

Pivotal LNG announced it will expand into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic markets with a new liquefied natural gas facility, Towanda LNG, in Wyalusing, Pa.

The facility entered service in January 2021 and has already produced more than one million gallons of LNG, supporting a wide range of customers throughout Pennsylvania and the region. The facility broke ground in the spring of 2019 and was officially declared in-service in December 2020. The facility has a production capacity of 50,000 gallons a day and approximately 180,000 gallons of on-site storage, allowing it to provide affordable and reliable LNG supplies to customers from commercial and industrial users to local gas utilities and power generation facilities.

“Given its location and capabilities, Towanda LNG is truly well-positioned to provide more customers access to the region’s cost-advantaged natural gas supplies. Since the first LNG bunkering at the Port of Hamilton, Towanda LNG has already supplied LNG for several other marine vessel bunkerings,” said Roger Williams, Vice President of Commercial LNG and Gas Development at BHE GT&S. “In addition to LNG supply, Pivotal LNG also offers turn-key solutions including mobile LNG tanks with vaporizers. We’re dedicated to working with our customers to find a solution to their fueling needs. Towanda LNG is a great addition to Pivotal’s already well-established LNG network in the Southeast.”

The latest expansion allows Pivotal LNG to offer customized solutions to customers using LNG from three facilities along the eastern United States: the Trussville LNG facility in Alabama, the JAX LNG facility in Florida, and the Towanda LNG facility. The three plants have a combined storage capacity of approximately 7 million gallons and can produce an estimated 230,000 gallons of liquefication per day.
