Nov 24 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, or FERC, said on Monday it has granted a five-year

extension to complete construction of Sempra's ( SRE ) Cameron

LNG export facility in Louisiana and place it into service.

In October, Cameron LNG had filed an extension request for

five years (until March 16, 2033) to complete construction and

place the facility into service.

Cameron LNG is majority-owned by Sempra Infrastructure and

has helped the U.S. to become the world's leading exporter of

superchilled gas since 2023.

The LNG sector in the U.S. has seen a pick-up in commercial

activity after President Donald Trump lifted a moratorium on new

export permits soon after coming into office in January.
