NextDecade

NextDecade is focused on delivering more than liquefied natural gas (LNG) — supporting global energy security, reliability and affordability through the safe and efficient development and operation of LNG infrastructure in the U.S. Its Rio Grande LNG (RGLNG) site is located in Brownsville, Texas, with eight trains or approximately 48 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG production capacity under construction and in development, and sufficient space at the site for development of up to 10 liquefaction trains. RGLNG will source natural gas from U.S. markets, transport it via third-party pipelines to the facility for liquefaction, and then transport the LNG globally using specialized LNG vessels. NextDecade has sold approximately 85% of its LNG production from RGLNG Trains 1–5 under long-term, take-or-pay contracts with creditworthy, established global counterparties, including portfolio players and end-users across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

NextDecade is developing the Rio Grande LNG (RGLNG) site in Brownsville, Texas. In July 2023, NextDecade announced a positive final investment decision (FID) and construction began on Phase 1 of RGLNG. In February 2025, NextDecade announced development of Trains 6-8. In September 2025, NextDecade announced FID and construction began on Train 4. In October 2025, NextDecade announced FID and construction began on Train 5. Since announcing the positive FID on Phase 1 of RGLNG in 2023, the project's economic impact has totaled approximately $496 million in spending with local businesses and more than $2.5 million in community investments and charitable giving.

Positioned to be one of the largest LNG export companies in the world.
