The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued the final supplemental environmental impact statement (FSEIS) for Texas LNG, the LNG export terminal under development in the Port of Brownsville, Texas, by Texas LNG Brownsville LLC, an affiliate of Glenfarne Group, LLC.
The FSEIS successfully concludes FERC staff analysis of air quality and environmental justice matters that were previously raised before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, marking a significant regulatory milestone for the project.
Duval acknowledged the efforts of FERC staff in concluding their thorough review of Texas LNG’s environmental and socioeconomic considerations, expressing appreciation for the comprehensive regulatory process.
Texas LNG’s FERC Final Order is anticipated in November, which will provide the project with the benefit of multiple rounds of review, analysis, and issuance by FERC, establishing strong legal durability for the authorisation. This comprehensive regulatory framework demonstrates the project’s compliance with federal environmental and operational standards.
Glenfarne has reiterated previous guidance that Texas LNG is targeting a final investment decision by the end of 2025, maintaining the project’s development timeline following the completion of key regulatory milestones.
The project has secured substantial commercial backing through customer offtake commitments from several major energy companies, including EQT Corporation, Gunvor Group, Macquarie Group, and one of Europe’s leading utilities. These commitments represent sufficient volume to support achieving a final investment decision for the facility.
Kiewit has been selected to lead the engineering, procurement, and construction of Texas LNG under a lump-sum turnkey contract structure, providing project delivery certainty and risk mitigation for the development.
The FSEIS represents the latest milestone for Glenfarne’s comprehensive federally authorised LNG portfolio, which encompasses three major projects: Texas LNG, the Alaska LNG project, and the Magnolia LNG project. All three LNG developments are progressing towards final investment decisions, positioning Glenfarne as a significant player in the North American LNG export market.
The completion of the FSEIS process demonstrates the project’s successful navigation of complex environmental and regulatory requirements whilst maintaining its commitment to environmental leadership through innovative facility design and operational approaches.
This regulatory achievement positions Texas LNG to advance through final development phases and contributes to the growing portfolio of U.S. LNG export capacity designed to serve global energy markets whilst maintaining high environmental standards.
