Italian court further delays decision on Tuscan LNG terminal
(Reuters) - An Italian administrative court has postponed until Dec. 20 a decision on whether a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in the Tuscan port of Piombino meets all safety requirements, the city's mayor said on Wednesday.
The floating terminal can increase gas imports by 5 billion cubic meters per year, or 7% of Italy's total consumption, helping the country reduce reliance on Russian gas.
The Piombino administration, led by Mayor Francesco Ferrari, filed a legal challenge last year against the project and is considering asking the court to freeze the start of the terminal's commercial operation until the ruling in December.
The terminal is expected to start commercial operations in the next few days when the first cargo of LNG is injected into the network.
