In partnership with CFE, SI Partners was developing the Vista Pacifico LNG project, a midscale natural gas liquefaction export facility proposed to be located in the vicinity of the port of Topolobampo in Sinaloa, Mexico.
“Due to a change in SI Partners’ and the CFE’s respective priorities, in December 2025, we agreed to terminate the existing development agreement,” Sempra said in its annual report filed with the US SEC last week.
Sempra did not provide further details.
In 2022, Sempra Infrastructure, a unit of Sempra in which the latter is reducing its ownership to 25 percent, joined forces with CFE to develop the Vista Pacífico LNG export project.
After that, Sempra Infrastructure and TotalEnergies signed a memorandum of understanding with French energy giant TotalEnergies for the LNG export development.
During the same year, Vista Pacifico LNG was authorized by the US DOE to re-export up to 200 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/yr) of LNG from the project under development in Topolobampo to any country with which the US does not have an FTA requiring national treatment for trade in natural gas.
The proposed Vista Pacífico LNG project would have a capacity of 4 mtpa and would connect to two existing pipelines.
Sempra entered into a strategic transaction to sell a 45 percent equity stake in Sempra Infrastructure Partners (SI Partners) to KKR affiliates for $10 billion.
As part of Sempra’s broader capital-recycling program, SI Partners entered into a definitive agreement in the fourth quarter of 2025 to sell Ecogas Mexico, the fifth largest distribution network in Mexico.
ECA LNG
Sempra noted in its financial report that it achieved mechanical completion at the first phase of its Energia Costa Azul LNG export terminal in Mexico.
It targets the commercial operations date (COD) for the project in the summer.
Sempra Infrastructure and TotalEnergies are adding natural gas liquefaction capabilities to the existing ECA LNG regasification terminal, located north of Ensenada in Mexico’s Baja California.
The partners took FID on the development back in 2020, and ECA LNG Phase 1 includes a single-train liquefaction facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.25 mtpa of LNG.
Also, TotalEnergies and Mitsui & Co will offtake a combined 2.5 mtpa of LNG from the facility under 20-year deals.
