NextDecade Secures $3 Billion Funding From TotalEnergies, GIP for Rio Grande LNG Project

U.S. liquefied natural gas developer NextDecade said on Monday it will receive up to $3 billion in equity commitments from TotalEnergies and Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) to finance the fourth liquefaction train at its Rio Grande LNG export project in Texas.

TotalEnergies will contribute about $300 million for a 10% stake in the Train 4 joint venture, while a GIP affiliate will invest up to $1.5 billion for a 50% interest, which will fall to 30% once certain return thresholds are met.
