Louisiana LNG Tax Break Could Cost Local Communities $2.8 Billion

  • On April 29, 2025, Woodside Energy confirmed it would move forward with the investment to develop the LNG export terminal in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana.
  • The project follows Woodside's October 2024 acquisition of the stalled Driftwood LNG site, amid federal funding cuts affecting local education and healthcare budgets.
  • The terminal, renamed Louisiana LNG, secured a $5.7 billion investment from Stonepeak and a long-term natural gas supply contract with bp starting in 2029.
  • A Sierra Club report titled 'The People Always Pay' estimates Woodside’s tax breaks could reduce Louisiana local revenues by roughly $2.8 billion over ten years.
  • These tax breaks, combined with increased LNG exports driving natural gas prices up, raise concerns about impacts on local infrastructure funding and climate emissions.
