The Esperanza Energy team has taken a new and refreshing approach to project development that is responsive to California’s unique needs.

Regulatory Guidance
The Esperanza Energy team initially developed a general goal to provide a new source of natural gas to California consumers in the most environmentally responsible manner possible. The team approached federal, state and local regulatory agencies early in the development program to better understand applicable rules and regulations, and to find proven but innovative ways to best meet and even exceed them. The information gained through these early pre-filing meetings highlighted key environmental and safety criteria that the project needed to meet. Following these meetings, the team established these criteria as top priorities to incorporate in the project’s design.

LNG Public Policy Climate
The Esperanza Energy team understands that statewide, regional and local public policy issues influence the acceptability of any proposed major energy project in California. The Esperanza Energy team’s unparalleled expertise in California environmental and regulatory matters facilitated the identification of additional site and technology selection criteria that needed to be met – all of which further influenced the project’s design.
