Glenfarne Group has taken another step in the development of Texas LNG, its planned liquefied natural gas export terminal in the Port of Brownsville, Texas. The company issued Kiewit Energy Group a Limited Notice to Proceed, known as an LNTP, to begin crucial activities prior to full construction.
The authorization covers long-term equipment purchase orders, engineering work for the EPC phase, and geotechnical work to prepare the project site. With this decision, Texas LNG moves toward a more mature stage of technical execution while maintaining its path toward a final investment decision.
Kiewit begins pre-construction activities
Kiewit Energy Group is participating as the engineering, procurement and construction contractor for the project. Texas LNG already has a fixed-price turnkey EPC contract with the company, a structure that seeks to provide greater predictability in costs, times and execution.
Furthermore, the terminal has received authorization from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for construction and operation. This regulatory support is crucial for the project to move from technical preparation to a broader construction phase once the final investment is confirmed.
Texas LNG targets global LNG markets
Glenfarne also noted that the progress of the LNTP allows them to maintain the project’s momentum, secure critical equipment, and improve site readiness. The terminal aims to supply reliable, lower-emission US LNG to international markets.
Texas LNG will be built in the Port of Brownsville and is part of Glenfarne’s energy infrastructure portfolio. The company emphasizes that the plant will use electric motor drives, a design decision aimed at reducing emissions during operation.
Glenfarne strengthens its LNG portfolio in North America
Glenfarne develops, owns, and operates energy infrastructure assets across various business lines, including global LNG solutions, grid stability, and renewable energy. Its authorized LNG pipeline in North America represents 32.8 million tonnes per year of capacity under development in Alaska, Louisiana, and Texas.
With the LNTP awarded to Kiewit, Texas LNG gains traction in engineering, procurement, and geotechnical preparation. The project is now better positioned to move toward full construction once the final investment decision is made.
