Energy Transfer LNG Export, a subsidiary of U.S.-based Energy Transfer, has been given additional time to start liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) countries from its proposed export project on Louisiana’s Gulf Coast.

An amendment order was signed by Chris Wright , U.S. Secretary of Energy, granting additional time for Energy Transfer’s Lake Charles LNG Export Company to commence exports of LNG to non-free trade agreement countries from the Lake Charles LNG project in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
