TotalEnergies said Wednesday that it has signed an agreement
with U.S. energy company NextDecade and investment firm Global
Infrastructure Partners to jointly develop the first phase of a
liquefied natural gas project in Texas.
Under the agreement, TotalEnergies will take a 16.7% interest in
the first phase of the Rio Grande LNG project, which consists of
three liquefaction trains with total annual capacity of 17.5
million metric tons a year, it said. GIP will be the majority
shareholder and NextDecade will be the operator, TotalEnergies
said.
The French energy major will buy a 17.5% stake in NextDecade for
$219 million in three steps as part of the deal, with an initial
5.06% stake already acquired on Tuesday for $40 million.
Final investment decision on the project is expected in coming
weeks for start-up in 2027, TotalEnergies said. The project has
received necessary authorizations from U.S. Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, the company said.
TotalEnergies said it will take 5.4 million tons a year from the
first phase for 20 years, bringing its U.S. LNG export capacity to
more than 15 million tons a year by 2030.
