HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2025 / Monkey Island LNG ("MILNG") has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with an investment-grade natural gas supplier to support Phase 1 (15.6 MTPA) of MILNG's proposed LNG export facility located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. While the supplier's name remains confidential, the agreement validates the significant support Monkey Island LNG has attracted from top-tier natural gas suppliers. It also marks a pivotal step on the path towards Final Investment Decision (FID), advancing MILNG's commercial progress and further de-risking its approximately $25 billion infrastructure plan.
"Securing a 20-year commitment from a major supplier represents another critical milestone for Monkey Island LNG," said Greg Michaels, CEO of MILNG. "MILNG's proprietary TrueCost LNG model is designed to upend traditional opaque LNG pricing by delivering full transparency, lower lifecycle costs, and complete alignment of interests between producer, buyer, and investors. We look forward to building on this partnership and welcoming additional suppliers to join us in reshaping how LNG projects are structured and contracted globally."
The company's transparent TrueCost LNG model continues to resonate with global partners seeking clarity in pricing, alignment in incentives, and long-term reliability in supply. The MILNG executive team is currently engaging with additional natural gas suppliers to expand its feedstock portfolio and further de-risk its project development.
"With the project's technology selected, fuel supply secured, and market demand validated, we're executing on all pillars required to advance the project to FID," added Michaels. "This is LNG done differently - and done right."
The project's strategic location in Louisiana and its 246-acre site offers direct access to prolific natural gas production basins and deepwater marine access, enabling highly efficient logistics and low-cost LNG exports. MILNG sits approximately 70 miles from Henry Hub, the U.S. natural gas distribution hub and the benchmark pricing point for natural gas futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX).
