Lake Charles LNG Facility

Energy Transfer is developing a world-class LNG export facility on the U.S. Gulf Coast.

The Project

Energy Transfer plans to convert its existing Lake Charles LNG import and regasification facility into a LNG export facility. It is the only brownfield project among those in the pre-FID process. The project will use a best available techniques concept to be a class leader in terms of environment emissions, performance and efficiency.

Permit Ready

The Lake Charles LNG project will benefit from abundant natural gas supply through existing connections to the Henry Hub and connectivity to Energy Transfer's vast network of natural gas pipelines.

Existing Terminal

The existing Lake Charles LNG import and regasification terminal has approximately 430,000 cubic meters of above ground LNG storage capacity, two deep water docks capable of handiling ships with up to 217,000 cubic meters of capacity, and a deep water turning basin.

Progress Towards FID

Lake Charles LNG signed an Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract in September 2024 for 2.0 mtpa. Subject to the execution of additional LNG offtake agreements, commitments from third parties for equity investments in the project and the satisfaction of other conditions, Lake Charles LNG targets making a final investment decision in late third quarter or early fourth quarter of 2025.

LNG Future

The facility will be an important part of the future of Louisiana’s growing LNG industry.

LNG Capacity

The project, if sanctioned through an affirmative FID, will have a liquefaction capacity of 16.45 million tonnes per annum.

CONTRACTS & EQUITY

Lake Charles LNG signed an LNG offtake contract in December 2024 for 2.0 mtpa and is currently in discussions for the remaining uncommitted volume of LNG offtake. Lake Charles LNG is also in discussions for equity investments in the project.

Energy Leadership

Energy Transfer is one of the largest pipeline midstream operators in the U.S. with MORE THAN 130,000 miles of pipelines and related energy infrastructure in 44 U.S. states.
