On August 28, 2026, Cheniere Energy, Inc., completed its Corpus Christi Liquefaction Stage 3 Project (CCL Stage 3) in Texas, taking custody and control of the seventh and last liquefied natural gas (LNG) train in the project.

CCL Stage 3, which started producing LNG in December 2024, is part of the larger Corpus Christi LNG Terminal in San Patricio County, Texas. The additional capacity expands the total nominal capacity of the facility to 3.1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), or 3.9 Bcf/d peak capacity. With the addition, the Corpus Christi terminal became the second-largest facility in the United States after Sabine Pass in Louisiana, which has a nominal capacity of 3.6 Bcf/d

Low-cost Appalachian and Canadian natural gas supplies coupled with lower-than-usual regional consumption have pushed down natural gas prices at a major New England pricing hub in recent months to trade at a discount to the widely cited U.S. benchmark, Henry Hub.

Natural gas prices at Algonquin Citygate averaged 43 cents per million British thermal units (MMBtu) less than Henry Hub from April through July 2026, the second-largest discount for the period, according to Natural Gas Intelligence data going back to 1999.

Over the past several years, the price for natural gas at Algonquin Citygate typically traded at a premium to Henry Hub during the winter months as natural gas demand increased for home heating. In the spring and summer months, as home heating demand decreased
