Texas LNG Brownsville taps Kiewit for EPC; advancing towards FID

Texas LNG Brownsville, a subsidiary of Glenfarne Energy Transition, has awarded Kiewit Energy with an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) for Texas LNG.

Based in the Port of Brownsville, Texas LNG aims to be a four million tonnes per annum liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal. The project developers are targeting a start-up date of 2028.

Under terms of the deal Texas LNG will also work with Kiewit to complete the pre-final investment decision (FID) engineering to advance the project to FID.

This follows Texas LNG signing a Heads of Agreement, securing offtake commitments sufficient for the project to advance to a FID.

We look forward to working with them.”

Glenfarne Energy Transition is the developer, owner, and operator of energy transition infrastructure and the majority owner and managing member of Texas LNG. A joint venture between Technip Energies USA and Samsung Engineering is leading the delivery of the facility.
