Previous: 2026-08707, Rio Grande LNG, LLC, Rio Grande LNG Train 4, LLC, Rio Grande LNG Train 5, LLC; Notice of Request for Extension of Time

Rio Grande LNG and its partners asked for more time—until November 22, 2031—to finish building their big natural gas terminal in Texas. Construction is moving, but delays mean the last part won’t be ready until 2031, pushing back the original 2026 deadline. This extension helps keep the project on track without rushing, affecting local energy plans and investments.
