NextDecade plans to finance a sixth train at its Rio Grande LNG export facility, targeting a final investment decision in 2027, in response to increasing customer demand for LNG supply beyond 2030. The company has already committed to trains 4 and 5, set to begin operations in 2030 and 2031, while the initial phase with three trains is expected to start between 2027 and 2029. Despite challenges in the industry, demand for LNG remains strong, with train 6 anticipated to be operational by 2032.
