Sempra Requests Extension for Completion of Louisiana Cameron LNG Export Plant

In June 2014, the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved construction of three liquefaction trains at Cameron. The original order required that the project be completed within a five-year time frame. 

Sempra announced on May 14 that the first train at Cameron started producing LNG is expected to export its first cargo in the weeks to come. They also said Cameron Trains 2 and 3 will enter service in the first and second quarters of 2020.

Sempra has asked FERC for a 15-month extension to complete the Cameron LNG export plant and put it into full service by September of 2020.
