Sempra expects to fund the project with a combination of equity contributions and debt.\u00a0First LNG production from ECA LNG Phase 1 is expected in late 2024.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As one of the largest private investments in the history of <span class=\"xn-location\">Baja California<\/span>, ECA LNG&#8217;s liquefaction-export project is expected to help support the Mexican economy through investment, tax revenue and jobs,&#8221;\u00a0said <span class=\"xn-person\">Tania Ortiz Mena<\/span>, CEO of IEnova.\u00a0&#8220;The project is also expected to positively impact the local community through social investment programs as well as help position <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span> as a key player in the global trade of natural gas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ECA LNG Phase 1 will be built and operated by Sempra LNG and IEnova, Sempra Energy&#8217;s subsidiary in <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span>, as a single-train liquefaction facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.25 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of LNG and an initial offtake capacity of approximately 2.5 Mtpa of LNG.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Exports of LNG from ECA LNG Phase 1 are expected to improve the trade balances of the U.S. and <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span>. Its construction is expected to create more than 10,000 direct and indirect jobs as a result of increased economic activity and social investments in both countries. Approximately 75 full-time jobs are expected to be added to the operations of ECA LNG. <\/p>\n<p>ECA LNG has secured definitive 20-year sale and purchase agreements with Mitsui &amp; Co., Ltd. and an affiliate of Total SE for the purchase of approximately 2.5 Mtpa of LNG from Phase 1 of the project. Additionally, ECA LNG and Total SE continue to work toward a potential equity investment in the project by Total SE.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>In February, ECA LNG executed a lump-sum, turn-key engineering, procurement and construction contract with an affiliate of TechnipFMC plc for Phase 1 of the LNG export facility.<\/p>\n<p>Sempra LNG is developing additional LNG export facilities on the Gulf Coast and Pacific Coast of <span class=\"xn-location\">North America<\/span>, including a potential Phase 2 of the ECA LNG project. The successful development and ultimate construction of both phases of ECA LNG&#8217;s project and Sempra Energy&#8217;s other LNG export projects are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and there can be no assurance that these projects will be completed.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About Sempra LNG<br \/><\/b>Sempra LNG&#8217;s mission is to be <span class=\"xn-location\">North America&#8217;s<\/span> premier LNG infrastructure company by providing sustainable, safe and reliable access to U.S. natural gas for global markets.\u00a0Sempra LNG owns a 50.2% interest in Cameron LNG, a 12 Mtpa export facility operating in <span class=\"xn-location\">Hackberry, Louisiana<\/span> and is currently developing additional LNG export facilities on the Gulf Coast and Pacific Coast of <span class=\"xn-location\">North America<\/span> through Cameron LNG expansion, Port Arthur LNG in <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span> and Energ\u00eda Costa Azul LNG in Mexico.\u00a0Through its disciplined value creation process, Sempra LNG evaluates expansion opportunities at each of these locations and other infrastructure investments along the LNG value chain.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About IEnova<br \/><\/b>IEnova develops, builds and operates energy infrastructure in <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span>.
