HOUSTON, May 1 (Reuters) - Venture Global VG.N has raised $3 billion in debt finance towards the construction of its CP2 LNG plant in Louisiana, the company said on Thursday.

The money is to be used as part of the construction costs of what will be the largest single LNG plant in the U.S., with a capacity to produce 28 million tonnes per annum of the superchilled gas, the company said.

Two of the processing plants, also called trains, for the CP2 export facility will arrive in the U.S. in the coming months from Europe, Venture Global said in a release.
