Aug 22 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Energy said on Friday it had granted Energy Transfer ET.N additional time to start exports from the Lake Charles LNG facility under its non-Free Trade Agreement export permit.
"On the heels of President Trump’s historic trade negotiations, demand for secure, reliable American LNG is surging," Energy Secretary Chris Wright said in a press release announcing the extension.
Once fully constructed, the Lake Charles LNG project will be capable of exporting up to 2.33 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas as LNG, according to the release.
