en.Wedoany.com Reported - U.S. LNG developer Rio Grande LNG has filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) seeking a three-year extension of the construction deadline for its export facility at the Port of Brownsville, Texas. In the filing, the company stated that additional time is needed to complete all project facilities, with plans to commence operations by 2031.

Rio Grande LNG, owned by NextDecade, has a designed annual export capacity of 48 million tonnes of super-cooled natural gas. Construction of the project's five production trains is currently underway, with Trains 1 through 3 expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2029, and the remaining two trains by the second quarter of 2031. The company estimates that construction of all authorized facilities will be finished by November 22, 2031.

As one of the key LNG export projects on the U.S. Gulf Coast, Rio Grande LNG's extension application reflects the complex construction environment facing large-scale energy infrastructure projects. Once completed, this facility will further expand the United States' liquefied natural gas export capacity.
