RBN ENERGY: financing, tariffs, prices, complicate the path to FID for LNG export projects
LNG export projects looking to take a positive final investment decision (FID) need to sell a high proportion of their nameplate capacity under long-term contracts to ensure sufficient cash flows to underpin the project and obtain financing. 
U.S.-based projects (new and expansions) totaling more than 350 million tons per annum (MMtpa, 48.3 Bcf/) — against a current global market of 400 MMtpa (52.9 Bcf/d) — are vying for creditworthy offtakers from multiple markets in their pre-FID deliberations. 
The sense of urgency among project sponsors has been boosted by the Russia/Ukraine war and a potentially resurgent Chinese economy, both of which should promise a bright future for new projects. 
Plenty of those have reached FID in the last couple of years, but what is holding others back from taking the same step? In today’s RBN blog, we’ll look at some of the factors impacting those decisions and the long-term implications that flow from them. 
Data from the International Group of Liquefied Natural Gas Importers (GIIGNL) shows that long-term sales and purchase agreements (SPAs) are in place for 73 MMtpa (9.7 Bcf/d) of LNG supply to be met by projects along the U.S. Gulf Coast. So far in 2023, three such projects have taken FID: NextDecade (17.6 MMtpa, 2.3 Bcf/d), Port Arthur (13 MMtpa, 1.7 Bcf/d), and Plaquemines Phase 2 (6.7 MMtpa, 0.9 Bcf/d) for a combined 37.3 MMtpa (4.9 Bcf/d), a significant amount in any year. But those three account for only 60% of the LNG signed up, with the rest divided among a number of pre-FID projects.
