Kiewit gets limited notice to proceed for Glenfarne’s Texas LNG

US construction and engineering firm Kiewit has received a limited notice to proceed from Glenfarne's Texas LNG for the latter's planned 4 mtpa LNG export terminal in the port of Brownsville.

Glenfarne said on Friday that the LNTP to Kiewit covers purchase orders for long-lead equipment, engineering activities for the EPC phase, and geotechnical work required to ready Texas LNG for full construction and a final investment decision (FID).

“The LNTP work and purchase orders demonstrate the strength of the project’s world-class partner network and Glenfarne’s continued disciplined advancement of Texas LNG,” said Brendan Duval, CEO and founder of Glenfarne.

“By progressing key equipment, engineering, and site-readiness work during LNTP, we are maintaining project momentum, improving execution certainty, and positioning Texas LNG to move efficiently into full construction,” he said.

Glenfarne did not say when it expects to take FID.

The firm previously said that Texas LNG “remains on schedule” for a second-quarter 2026 final investment decision.

Glenfarne and Kiewit executed the EPC contract for Texas LNG in March this year, following fourteen months of pre-FID engineering work.

Texas LNG also selected Kiewit Offshore Services to fabricate the project’s liquefaction, pretreatment, and pipe rack modules.

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.

Most recently, Glenfarne said it is expanding its global LNG commodities platform, Glenfarne Global Commodities, to include 1.5 mtpa of LNG offtake from Texas LNG.
