Venture Global Inc. closed a $1.75 billion senior secured, term loan B credit facility through its subsidiary Calcasieu Pass Funding on April 10, 2026. The facility is structured as a senior secured loan, giving the company priority access to collateral in the event of default and providing additional liquidity to support the ongoing construction and expansion of its LNG projects, including Calcasieu Pass and Plaquemines.
The new credit line is part of a broader financing strategy that has already included a $15.1 billion CP2 Phase 1 project financing and a $1.75 billion initial public offering. By securing this facility, Venture Global can continue to self‑finance large‑scale LNG projects without diluting equity holders, while also reducing its overall cost of capital and strengthening its balance sheet.
Venture Global’s total debt stands at $35.2 billion with a debt‑to‑equity ratio of 5.22, and the company has experienced a levered free‑cash‑flow burn of $6.8 billion over the past year. The new facility will help refinance existing obligations, improve liquidity, and provide a buffer against the high debt load and cash burn that have been a concern for investors.
Investors have approached the announcement with caution, focusing on the company’s significant debt burden and negative cash flow. Nevertheless, the facility’s senior secured structure and the ability to draw on it as needed are viewed as positive steps toward maintaining financial flexibility in a tightening global LNG supply environment.
The credit line will support the planned expansion of Calcasieu Pass and Plaquemines LNG operations, enabling Venture Global to accelerate its 90‑train ramp and future brownfield projects. By securing additional liquidity, the company positions itself to capture market share as demand for U.S. LNG exports continues to grow.
