Sempra Infrastructure and JERA Sign 20-Year LNG Deal from Port Arthur Phase 2
Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra (NYSE: SRE), and Japan’s JERA have signed a 20-year agreement for 1.5 million tonnes per annum of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project in Texas.
The agreement, following a non-binding June MOU, strengthens long-term energy ties between the U.S. and Japan. It supports JERA’s strategy for a reliable LNG portfolio and Sempra’s goal to expand U.S. energy exports. Phase 2 of the Port Arthur project is permitted and could double the site’s capacity to 26 Mtpa. A final investment decision is pending. Phase 1 is under construction, with operations expected in 2027 and 2028.
