Glefarne announced on Friday that, upon a notice to proceed, Kiewit Offshore Services (KOS) will be the entity to fabricate Texas LNG’s project’s modules.
“This module fabrication work represents a significant investment in skilled U.S. and Texas labor and helps manage project costs and risks due to the advantageous in-state location of the KOS facility for the Texas LNG site,” Glenfarne said.
The company did not provide any additional details regarding the contract.
Glenfarne and Kiewit recently executed the EPC contract for Texas LNG following fourteen months of pre-FID engineering work.
According to Glenfarne, Texas LNG remains on schedule for a second-quarter 2026 final investment decision.
“Derisking module supply via U.S. fabrication avoids tariffs, geopolitical risks, heavy-lift shipping, Panama Canal transit, and helps ensure quality control. We had the option to go offshore, but this decision is an investment in predictability and quality,” Brendan Duval, Glenfarne chief executive officer and founder, said.
“We are giving back to the state that has supported this project so much and are proud to have Texas and U.S. craft labor fabricate our modules. It’s only fitting that Texas LNG has its modules fabricated in Texas,” he said.
In January this year, Glenfarne announced that its Texas LNG project is fully subscribed after it signed a definitive 20-year sales and purchase agreement with a unit of German energy firm RWE.
Under the deal, Texas LNG will supply one million tonnes per year (mtpa) of LNG to RWE Supply & Trading.
Before this, Texas LNG signed a 20-year sales and purchase deal with a unit of Macquarie in December 2024.
Under the SPA, Macquarie Energy will buy 0.5 mtpa of LNG for 20 years from Texas LNG.
In September 2025, while announcing a 20-year SPA with a unit of Geneva-based trader Gunvor, Texas LNG said it was in the process of converting HOAs with Macquarie and another “highly experienced, investment-grade global LNG player” into definitive agreements.
