Freeport LNG has reported an outage of one of the three trains at its Texas export terminal, cutting into potential U.S. feed gas demand for at least the next month.

The company confirmed Friday that freezing temperatures last week on the Texas coast during Winter Storm Heather caused electrical issues with one of the electric motors at the plant.

“We anticipate an outage of approximately one month of one of our three trains as we work to safely and expeditiously return our liquefaction facility to normal operations,” spokesperson Heather Browne said.
