LNG Export Proposal – Eddystone, PA
Welcome! SIGN UP HERE to engage in our campaign to prevent any LNG export facilities in the Delaware River Watershed!
DRN learned through dozens of file requests (FOIAs, RTKL requests) with Pennsylvania agencies, federal agencies, and Governor Shapiro’s office some information about what LNG export facilities are being secretly planned and precisely where. We have learned that LNG interests and companies have met privately with officials in the PA Governor’s’ office, the Dept. of Community and Economic Development, local officials, and even with the White House, to push LNG projects in southeastern PA. (see: https://penncapital-star.com/energy-environment/as-trump-pushes-liquified-natural-gas-exports-some-in-pa-push-to-stop-a-proposed-lng-terminal/). But nothing has been revealed to the public about the proposal(s) even though the records DRN has received exposes that there is tremendous energy being invested by LNG export proponents to influence the agencies that would support their ventures. Despite all this secret activity, there are no permit applications as far as public records show. To read the files Delaware Riverkeeper Network has received through records requests, which verify these meetings and those who are participating, see Supporting Documents below.
We have unearthed valuable information but have also filed several appeals to try to obtain important records that were redacted or denied by agencies. The records we have received reveal intense lobbying with many participants behind closed doors. Also revealed is that the Dept. of Community and Economic Development and Eddystone Borough have separately entered into a Nondisclosure Agreement with a newly formed entity, Eddystone Energy LLC. It appears this tactic is to move the LNG project forward without public disclosure, seeming to abandon the Chester site and go to Eddystone instead. But the details are still unclear, and Delaware Riverkeeper Network continues to dig for information and share it publicly.
DRN is working with Chester Residents Concerned for Quality Living (CRQCL) to get this information out into the open, especially in the communities that would be most impacted We are holding forums and webinars. Go to NoLNGDelco.com to learn more about our teamwork to prevent LNG exports in southeastern PA.
We have learned through our investigative research that Eddystone Energy LLC is not registered as a corporation in Pennsylvania and has a registration in Delaware. EDDYSTONE ENERGY LLC is a Delaware Domestic Limited-Liability Company filed on May 12, 2025. The company’s filing status is listed as Active, and its File Number is 10191348. The Registered Agent on file for this company is Republic Registered Agent LLC and is located at 262 Chapman Rd Suite 240, Newark, DE 19702 https://www.bizapedia.com/de/eddystone-energy-llc.html. Republic Registered Agents LLC in Delaware (often referred to generically as a Registered Agent, Resident Agent, or Statutory Agent) serves as an authorized, physical, in-state point of contact for corporations and LLCs. They accept legal documents, lawsuit notices (service of process), and government correspondence on behalf of businesses. There are several other businesses in Delaware with the same address as Eddystone Energy because of this. Is Eddystone Energy LLC a “real” company? There is no address registered in PA, but there is an address in Belmont, MA under a registered agent Joseph Cleary, who refers to himself as an independent consultant and Renewable Energy Industry Executive on his LinkedIn page. The Massachusetts filing for Eddystone Energy LLC describes the business as “energy consulting.”
We will continue to share information as we receive it. Sign up here with DRN to become an e-activist opposed to LNG Exports.
