(Bloomberg) -- Cheniere Energy Inc., the biggest US exporter of liquefied natural gas, wants to expand its complex on the Texas coast, according to a regulatory filing. 

The company is seeking to add two production lines -- known as trains -- as well as a 220,000-cubic-meter storage tank at its Corpus Christi plant, the filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission showed. Cheniere plans to file a formal application with the agency in February; if approved, construction would commence in October 2024 with a projected in-service date during the second half of 2031. 

Cheniere’s filing comes roughly two months after the company reached a final investment decision for the stage three expansion of Corpus Christi LNG.  Cheniere has signed six LNG supply deals since May as Europe and Asia continue to compete for tight global supplies.
