Management said the company has energized the Train 1 liquefaction and utility substations and started regulatory filings in preparation for commissioning. The CCL Stage 3 expansion project would add seven trains and 10 million metric tons/year (mmty) of capacity to the existing 15 mmty facility. All seven trains are expected to be online by 2026.

Plans for two more trains that would add another 3 mmty at the site received a positive environmental assessment from federal regulators in June. Cheniere expects to sanction the Midscale Trains 8 & 9 project next year.
