The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has set a schedule for its environmental review of a request from Freeport LNG to raise the hourly production rate at its liquefied natural gas plant. The company wants to raise the maximum hourly rate from about 33.6 to 35 million cubic feet, to give it flexibility during maintenance, downtime or other operational events. The yearly production limit would not change, and no equipment changes are proposed. FERC plans to issue its environmental assessment on November 6, 2026, with a federal authorization decision deadline of February 4, 2027.
