He highlighted the contract’s structure, which aligns the interests of KTJV and Lake Charles LNG to ensure a cost-effective and high-quality outcome. The final decision to proceed with the project will depend on securing sufficient commercial commitments and third-party equity, reflecting continued progress towards realising this important infrastructure development.
