Background

Texas LNG Terminal is a proposed LNG terminal in the Port of Brownsville, Texas, United States. A final investment decision for the project is expected in 2018. If the project moves forward, LNG production is expected in 2022.

The draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was issued in October 2018, and the final EIS in March 2019. Based on the FEIS date and timelines of other approved LNG export projects, Texas LNG says it expects to receive its Final FERC Order authorizing construction and operation of its facility in the second half of 2019, in accordance with previously announced recent estimates.

In December of 2019, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a formal approval of the project. The Commission also approved, with conditions, the Rio Grande LNG Terminal, the Rio Bravo Gas Pipeline, and the Annova LNG Brownsville Terminal, bringing the total number of FERC-approved project in 2019 to eleven. All four LNG project sponsors have applications pending before the U.S. Department of Energy seeking authorization to export gas to countries without Free Trade Agreements with the United States.
