Description (excerpt):

NERA Economic Consulting (NERA) was retained by Cheniere Energy, Inc. (Cheniere) to perform an analysis of the impacts of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports on the U.S. economy. This study is an update to a previous study by NERA for the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Fossil Energy (DOE/FE) that was released in December 2012. The scenarios for the DOE study were based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA’s) Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) 2011 and International Energy Outlook (IEO) 2011, while the scenarios for this study are based on EIA’s AEO 2013 and IEO 2013. Consistent with NERA’s previous study, a total of 63 scenarios were generated to analyze potential U.S. LNG exports.
