Glenfarne Group’s Texas LNG Brownsville has issued a limited notice to proceed (LNTP) to Kiewit Energy Group for the proposed Texas LNG project at the Port of Brownsville, Texas. <\/p>\n
Kiewit is the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for the liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal. <\/p>\n
The notice covers procurement of long-lead equipment, EPC phase engineering activities and geotechnical work. These measures are intended to prepare the project for full-scale construction and a final investment decision in the future. <\/p>\n
Glenfarne CEO and founder Brendan Duval said: “The LNTP work and purchase orders demonstrate the strength of the project’s world-class partner network and Glenfarne’s continued disciplined advancement of Texas LNG. <\/p>\n
“By progressing key equipment, engineering and site-readiness work during LNTP, we are maintaining project momentum, improving execution certainty and positioning Texas LNG to move efficiently into full construction.” <\/p>\n
In March 2026, Glenfarne executed a lump-sum turnkey EPC agreement with Kiewit for the project. The company has also received authorisation from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to construct and operate the facility. <\/p>\n
The recent approval of purchase orders and engineering work under the LNTP builds on these previous milestones as the project targets the delivery of lower-emission US LNG to international customers. <\/p>\n
The Texas LNG export terminal, if built, will be located on the Brownsville Ship Channel in Cameron County. It is expected to have a capacity of four million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG. <\/p>\n
The facility is designed with electric motor drives to reduce emissions. <\/p>\n
In August 2024, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated and remanded the FERC’s authorisation for Texas LNG. <\/p>\n
The court cited a lack of supplemental environmental review and insufficient consideration of environmental justice and air quality issues. <\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Texas LNG Brownsville entered into a definitive 20-year sales and purchase agreement<\/a> with RWE Supply & Trading for the supply of 1mtpa of LNG. <\/p>\n
