The Commonwealth LNG project has received a conditional non-free trade agreement export authorisation from the US Department of Energy (DOE) as the new US administration starts to deliver on pledges to accelerate LNG permitting and licensing to fuel growth.

Separately the project received its draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). These actions represent significant milestones in Commonwealth’s development of its 9.5 million tonnes per annum LNG facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.

“With these decisions in hand, subject to a FERC Final Order, which we expect in July 2025, and DOE final authorisation, Commonwealth anticipates reaching a final investment decision in September 2025, with first LNG production expected in Q1 2029,” said Commonwealth CEO Farhad Ahrabi.

“Today’s actions demonstrate that President Trump is prioritising the American energy industry and we are both pleased and grateful to have achieved these important regulatory objectives.”
