The strategic merger between United Energy LNG and Power LNG marks a significant step forward in the development of a scalable small-scale LNG platform designed to meet the needs of industrial, power, and transport markets across North America. Operating under the name United Energy LNG (UE LNG), the combined entity now oversees a portfolio of three LNG production sites in advanced stages of development, signaling a robust entry into the small-scale LNG sector.

UE LNG has announced the commencement of Front-End Loading Phase 1 (FEL-1) at its first project site in Houston, Texas, with additional sites in Independence, Kansas, and a confidential location underway. This geographic diversity and early-stage capacity underscore UE LNG’s commitment to expanding LNG access for high-demand domestic users, leveraging modular, nimble solutions that contrast with the traditional focus on megaprojects in the LNG industry.

The merger combines United Energy’s upstream operating experience and public market presence with Power LNG’s permitting progress, engineering capabilities, and pipeline of modular projects. With targeted liquefaction capacity of up to 540,000 MTPA at full deployment and estimated capital investment of $240–270 million across three facilities, UE LNG is poised to address the overlooked frontier of small-scale LNG in the U.S. energy landscape.

UE LNG’s modular platform is tailored to serve remote and underserved power generation sites, heavy-duty transportation and marine fueling networks, critical infrastructure requiring fuel resilience, and industrial operations seeking lower-emission alternatives. The company plans to reach financial close on its first three facilities by Q1 2026, with commissioning expected by Q1 2027, aiming to operate a network of scalable LNG hubs serving a portfolio of contracted customers across the U.S. by 2028.

This merger represents a pivotal moment in the energy sector, offering a scalable model for delivering LNG where it’s needed most, thereby turning America’s natural gas into clean, distributed power for everyone. The addressable domestic market for UE LNG exceeds 2 billion cubic feet equivalent annually, presenting a $3+ billion opportunity in underserved power, transport, and industrial sectors.
