As part of a third quarter business update, the Houston-based company disclosed it made progress on the 17.6 million tons/year (Mt/y) first phase of the Rio Grande LNG project during the quarter. NextDecade has been facing regulatory uncertainty since August, when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (DC) Circuit ordered FERC’s authorization of several Texas projects to be vacated and remanded.

CEO Matt Schatzman said its construction partner Bechtel Corp. has been pushing ahead with construction and foundational work at the Brownsville, TX, site while NextDecade fights to appeal the decision.
