On August 13, 2026, Mexican company Énestas signed definitive agreements with Texas-based Power LNG to develop liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure at the port of Galveston, Texas. The alliance positions a Mexican company at the center of a new LNG export hub on the U.S. Gulf Coast.

According to Energía a Debate, Énestas will contribute capital, LNG transport and storage equipment, and downstream operations expertise, while Power LNG brings its project development capacity. The collaboration also establishes a platform for new LNG business opportunities. The news is significant for the Mexican-American community because a Mexican company is directly capitalizing on the growth of a new LNG hub in Texas, a sector central to the USMCA energy relationship and cross-border trade.

The collaboration drives two initiatives: the Harborside terminal and the Seawolf Project, which envisions liquefaction infrastructure and LNG marine bunkering at Pelican Island, according to LNG Prime. While Seawolf advances, truck distribution will serve industrial clients and virtual pipeline users, opening export routes to the Gulf Coast, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Énestas joins as a specialist in LNG downstream infrastructure. Austin Terry, founder and CEO of Power LNG, summarized the goal: "Our vision has always been to make Galveston the premier LNG hub on the Gulf Coast." For Caio Zapata, CEO of Énestas, the partnership "is a natural evolution for the company, as we expand our LNG downstream business into the United States."

Truck distribution begins immediately, while liquefaction under the Seawolf Project advances, allowing Énestas to start commercial operations in Texas without waiting for construction to conclude. Galveston sits in one of the fastest-growing cruise, cargo, and energy corridors in the United States, an access point that will connect the terminal's LNG with markets in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Seawolf Project's development will be the next milestone to watch.
