Commonwealth LNG's Request Might Point to LNG Headwinds

October 9, 2025--Written by Daniel Graeber for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The developers of the Commonwealth LNG facility slated for Louisiana have asked the federal government for an extension on their construction permit, in what could be an early sign of headwinds for the industry. In a filing Tuesday with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), developers said a pause on permits for new export facilities for liquified natural gas (LNG) enacted by former President Joe Biden meant it could not meet a 2027 deadline. The applicants want the construction permit extended to December 2031. Other companies featured: Glenfarne Group and Shell plc
