The LNG industry in the U.S. restarted in 1965 with the building of a number of new plants, which continued through the 1970s. These plants were not only used for peak-shaving, as in Cleveland, but also for base-load supplies for places that never had natural gas before this.
Southern Company Gas owns and operates four LNG peak-shaving facilities, which supply gas at peak use times. The largest, the Riverdale LNG plant in Riverdale, Georgia, has storage capacity of 31,080,000 gallons or 2,560,000 million cubic feet (Mcf) of natural gas in its two tanks. Located south of Atlanta, the plant is supplied by two ...

The Grain LNG terminal is located on the site of the BP Kent Refinery which closed in 1982 and was subsequently demolished. [2] The Grain LNG site covers a total area of 600 acres (240 ha). In 1980 British Gas constructed an LNG peak-shaving facility on the south west of the refinery site. [2]
This was the first such plant in the world. Originally it had three spheres, approximately 63 feet (19 m) in diameter containing LNG at −260 °F (−162 °C). Each sphere held the equivalent of about 50 million US gallons (190,000 m 3) [1] of natural gas. A fourth tank, a cylinder, was added in 1942.
Load management allows utilities to reduce demand for electricity during peak usage times (peak shaving), which can, in turn, reduce costs by eliminating the need for peaking power plants. In addition, some peaking power plants can take more than an hour to bring on-line which makes load management even more critical should a plant go off-line ...
Cove Point offshore pier. Cove Point LNG Terminal is an offshore liquid natural gas shipping terminal operated by BHE GT&S, a Berkshire Hathaway Energy company. It is located near Lusby, Maryland, United States, on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, and exports liquefied natural gas (LNG) and also stores gas.
