HOUSTON, May 1 (Reuters) - Venture Global ( VG ) has

raised $3 billion in debt finance towards the construction of

its CP2 LNG plant in Louisiana, the company said on Thursday.

The money is to be used as part of the construction costs of

what will be the largest single LNG plant in the U.S., with a

capacity to produce 28 million tonnes per annum of the

superchilled gas, the company said.

Two of the processing plants, also called trains, for the

CP2 export facility will arrive in the U.S. in the coming months

from Europe, Venture Global ( VG ) said in a release.
