- One million tonnes per year of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to be delivered from Texas LNG, an LNG export facility to be constructed in the Port of Brownsville, Texas
- Deliveries can be shipped by RWE to locations in Europe and worldwide, with expected commissioning commencement in 2030
RWE Supply & Trading, and Texas LNG Brownsville LLC, part of Glenfarne Group, have signed a 20-year sales and purchase agreement for one million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of liquefied natural gas (LNG). This corresponds to approx. 13 cargoes of LNG and approx. 1.4 billion cubic meters (BCM) per year of natural gas respectively.
LNG will be supplied from Texas LNG, an LNG export facility Glenfarne will construct in the Port of Brownsville, Texas. Deliveries can be shipped by RWE to locations in Europe and worldwide.
Jacob Meins, Chief Commercial Officer Origination at RWE Supply & Trading: 'I am pleased to welcome Glenfarne as a strong partner in our LNG supply. By securing one million tonnes a year of LNG for our international portfolio, this partnership not only strengthens our position globally but also supports Europe’s security of supply.'
Vlad Bluzer, Partner at Glenfarne Group, LLC and Co-President of Texas LNG: 'We welcome RWE, one of the world’s most versatile energy companies, as an offtake partner for Texas LNG and look forward to helping them fulfill the needs of their customers with clean, competitive energy. With the completion of offtake negotiations, Glenfarne is now focusing on finalizing the financing process as we advance toward a final investment decision in early 2026.'
The Texas LNG facility utilizes electric drive motors for LNG production, making it one of the lowest-emitting LNG terminals globally. The agreement contains a robust framework for monitoring, reporting, and verifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the well head to LNG loading, reinforcing the companies’ commitment to supply LNG cargoes that support emission reduction across the full LNG value chain.
The supply and purchase agreement with Texas LNG is RWE’s second long-term supply contract for LNG from the U.S. In 2022, RWE and Sempra Infrastructure signed a 15-year supply contract for approx. 2.25 million tonnes per annum of LNG. LNG will be supplied from the Port Arthur LNG Terminal in Texas, which is expected to start operations during 2027.
