Cheniere’s Corpus Christi Expansion Makes It America’s Second-Largest LNG Facility
Cheniere completed the final train of its Corpus Christi expansion, making the Texas facility the United States’ second-largest LNG site.
What happened
On August 28, 2026, Cheniere Energy completed the Corpus Christi Liquefaction Stage 3 Project in Texas. The company took custody and control of the project’s seventh and final LNG train, elevating the facility to second-largest in the United States.
Why it matters
The completion gives Cheniere a larger operating footprint in the US LNG sector. However, the source provides no capacity, production, pricing, employment, or commercial-contract details, so broader market and business effects cannot be verified.
