FERC Approves Five-Year Extension for Sempra’s Cameron LNG Expansion in Louisiana

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has granted Sempra a five-year extension to complete construction of the Cameron LNG expansion in Louisiana. The decision gives the project until 2033 to finish work, supporting continued U.S. LNG export growth following renewed permitting momentum.

 

(Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, said on Monday it has granted a five-year extension to complete construction of Sempra's SRE.N Cameron LNG export facility in Louisiana and place it into service.

 

In October, Cameron LNG had filed an extension request for five years (until March 16, 2033) to complete construction and place the facility into service.

Cameron LNG is majority-owned by Sempra Infrastructure and has helped the U.S. to become the world's leading exporter of superchilled gas since 2023.

The LNG sector in the U.S. has seen a pick-up in commercial activity after President Donald Trump lifted a moratorium on new export permits soon after coming into office in January.
