Welcome

The Weaver's Cove Energy project is an essential solution to meet the region's need for natural gas supply and storage and to ensure the reliability of the region's energy system. Additionally, the project will create over 1,000 direct and indirect jobs and over $400 million of economic benefits during the construction period alone. Weaver's Cove Energy will also provide increased tax revenues for both Fall River (onshore facility) and Somerset (offshore berth), and it will be the largest taxpayer in both communities.

As a team, we are committed to designing, constructing, and operating the safest and most secure LNG terminal possible, a concept that guides us throughout day-to-day decisions as we move forward.

Weaver's Cove Energy
Offshore Berth Project

Weaver's Cove Energy (WCE) is proposing to invest more than $500 million in the region to build an offshore berth in Mount Hope Bay and an onshore LNG storage facility on the site of a currently abandoned oil terminal in Fall River, MA. The berth will serve as the docking station for LNG tankers to unload LNG into underwater pipelines for delivery to the storage facility. MORE

Regional & Community Benefits

During the 36 month construction period and first year of operation we expect to employ over 1,000 workers. Once the facility is fully operational, we expect to have an employment impact of close to 400 jobs, which will include supervisors, operators, technicians and mechanics, and contract employees such as security and other support services.
