Glenfarne signs MoU with ABB for Texas LNG electrical, automation equipment

Glenfarne Energy Transition LLC’s 4-million tonne/year Texas LNG liquefaction plant, to be built in the Port of Brownsville, Tex., has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with ABB to collaborate on core automation and electrical equipment for the plant.

As part of the MoU, Texas LNG and ABB have agreed to a framework for ABB to make an investment in the project. Additional details on the investment were not disclosed.

Combined with Texas LNG’s equipment and partnership agreement with Baker Hughes, Glenfarne has announced more than a half a billion dollars’ worth of equipment selections for Texas LNG to date (OGJ Online, Nov. 10, 2023).

Texas LNG expects to close its project financing in 2024 with construction beginning shortly thereafter. An equipment order is expected to be granted in conjunction with financial close of the project. First LNG exports from Texas LNG are expected to be shipped in late 2027 or early 2028.
