NextDecade Comments on Today’s Court Actions
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (Court) issued an order vacating the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) remand authorization of NextDecade (NASDAQ:) Corporation’s (NextDecade) (Nasdaq: NEXT) Rio Grande LNG Facility on the grounds that the FERC should have issued a supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) during its remand process.
NextDecade is disappointed in the Court’s decision and disagrees with its conclusions. The Company is reviewing the Court’s decision and assessing all of its options. At this time, construction continues on the first three liquefaction trains and related infrastructure (Phase 1) at the Rio Grande LNG Facility, and the Company is evaluating the impact of the Court’s decision on the timing of a positive final investment decision (FID) on Train 4.
