SEMPRA · 2026-08-04 · Importance 37 · Surprise 42 · In source text
Sempra delayed substantial completion of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project in Ensenada, Mexico, to the fourth quarter of 2026 after refrigerant-compressor damage was identified following the first cargo shipment. TotalEnergies dispatched the maiden cargo, and the facility processes U.S. natural gas for export to Asia and Pacific Basin markets. The delay affects project execution timing but was reported not to reduce planned earnings contributions for 2026 and 2027.
