"This new strategic partnership with Venture Global supports our efforts to enhance energy security and accelerate the energy transition by delivering natural gas to our customers worldwide," said Steven Kobos, chief executive officer of Excelerate.
Venture Global said in May last year that it made a final investment decision to build the proposed Plaquemines LNG plant and closed on the $13.2 billion project financing for the initial 13.33 MTPA phase of the project and associated Gator Express pipeline.
