What changed
FERC's Office of Energy Projects issued a delegated order on April 10, 2026 approving Rio Grande LNG's request to implement overnight and weekend construction work hours at its Texas LNG facility. The order modifies the existing workforce configuration authorization under Certificate Proceedings CP16-454 and CP24-70, allowing round-the-clock construction activity.
Energy project developers and LNG facility operators should note that FERC regularly grants similar work hours modifications for large infrastructure projects. This approval is specific to Rio Grande LNG but establishes a precedent for operational flexibility requests. Companies managing FERC-regulated energy projects should review their certificate conditions and consider whether extended work hours could accelerate project timelines.
What to do next
- Monitor for any additional FERC conditions attached to the work hours authorization
- Ensure compliance with environmental mitigation requirements during extended hours
- Review similar certificate modifications if your project requires schedule changes
