Venture Global announced a final investment decision (FID) on Phase 2 of its Calcasieu Pass 2 (CP2) facility on March 13. The company took FID for Phase 1 of CP2 in July 2025 (which is different from the original, already operational Calcasieu Pass facility) and had already purchased the modules needed for both Phase 1 and Phase 2. Phase 2’s FID was widely expected but marks the first FID of 2026. CP2 LNG has a nameplate capacity of around 20 MMtpa, the same as Plaquemines, with a peak capacity of 29 MMtpa. Plaquemines has recently been taking more than 4 Bcf/d in feedgas, and CP2 could reach similar heights when fully operational. See the graph of Plaquemines feedgas below.
