Nov 4 (Reuters) - U.S. energy company Glenfarne Group

LLC said on Monday it had selected construction contractor

Kiewit to build its proposed Texas LNG export terminal in

Brownsville, Texas.

The proposed terminal has the capacity to turn about 0.5

billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) of natural gas into 4 million

tonnes per annum of liquefied natural gas.

Glenfarne said it would work with Kiewit to meet the

requirements needed to achieve a final investment decision

(FID).

The company was expected to begin construction by November

2024 and commercial operations by 2028. However, in May it asked

federal energy regulators to give it until 2029 to put its plant

into service.

Earlier this month, Glenfarne said it had already secured

enough supply agreements in a volume sufficient for achieving an

FID, including agreements with EQT Corp ( EQT ), Gunvor Group,

and Macquarie Group.
