Sempra Infrastructure Achieves Major Milestone with First LNG Export from Mexico's Pacific Coast

Sempra Infrastructure's ECA LNG Phase 1 Marks a Significant Achievement

Sempra Infrastructure recently commemorated a major achievement with the successful loading and shipment of its inaugural liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo from the ECA LNG Phase 1 project located in Ensenada, Mexico. This milestone is pivotal as the project progresses toward full-scale commercial operations, which are expected to commence soon.

The CEO of Sempra Infrastructure, Justin Bird, expressed excitement over this landmark event amidst global uncertainties within the LNG market. He stated, "This achievement underscores the exceptional talent of the entire ECA LNG Phase 1 team and our company's steadfast commitment to safe and strong project execution."

The strategic location of the ECA LNG facility provides a competitive advantage, enabling quicker and more efficient transport of U.S. natural gas to Asia and other markets in the Pacific Basin. This ensures that shippers can significantly cut down on transportation times and costs while offering customers better access to competitively priced natural gas imported from the U.S.

Operating under a joint venture with TotalEnergies, the ECA LNG Phase 1 encompasses a single liquefaction train with a nameplate capacity of 3.25 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa). TotalEnergies plays a crucial role in the operational ramp-up, having contributed to the project by exporting its first cargoes. The implementation of this LNG facility is indicative of a strategic advancement in Sempra's diverse LNG portfolio.

Upon reaching substantial completion in the summer of 2026, the ECA LNG project anticipates initiating long-term contracts, bolstering its involvement in the ever-growing energy market. Plans for a larger second phase at the same site are also actively in discussion, reflecting Sempra’s ongoing commitment to infrastructural growth.

Sempra Infrastructure has positioned itself as a critical player in ensuring a robust supply chain within the energy sector, responding proactively to the soaring demand for LNG. The company has developed an integrated LNG strategy across North America, which encompasses both the U.S. Gulf Coast and Mexico's Pacific Coast, thereby enhancing its ability to meet customer needs effectively.

With a focus on developing modern energy infrastructure that meets international demand, Sempra Infrastructure is committed to advancing energy security. Operating on a foundation of safety and reliability, Sempra is dedicated to delivering energy resources for a sustainable future.
