CHENIERE ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P. NEWS RELEASE

Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. Reports First Quarter 2015 Results

Houston, Texas - April 30, 2015 - Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. (“Cheniere Partners”) (NYSE MKT: CQP) reported a net loss of $178.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to a net loss of $69.7 million for the same period in 2014.

Significant items for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were a loss of $126.7 million, compared to a loss of $38.3 million for the comparable 2014 period. Significant items for the three months ended March 31, 2015 related to losses on early extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of debt issuance costs by Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC (“SPL”) in connection with the refinancing of a portion of its credit facilities in March 2015, derivative losses due primarily to changes in long-term LIBOR during the respective periods, and development expenses primarily for the fifth and sixth natural gas liquefaction trains (“Trains”) we are developing through SPL at the Sabine Pass LNG terminal adjacent to the existing regasification facilities (the “Liquefaction Project”).

General and administrative expense (including affiliate) decreased by $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the corresponding 2014 period, primarily due to a decrease in management fees incurred under certain management service agreements with wholly owned subsidiaries of Cheniere Energy, Inc. (“Cheniere”). SPL is required to pay monthly fees to an affiliate of Cheniere based upon the capital expenditures incurred in the previous month for construction of the first four Trains at the Liquefaction Project. Operating and maintenance expense (including affiliate) increased by $23.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the corresponding 2014 period, primarily due to costs incurred in order to maintain the cryogenic readiness of the regasification facilities at the Sabine Pass LNG terminal.

Recent Significant Events

▪	In March 2015, SPL issued an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion of 5.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2025. Net proceeds from the offering are being used to pay a portion of the capital costs associated with the construction of the first four Trains of the Liquefaction Project.

▪	In April 2015, we received authorization from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) to site, construct and operate Trains 5 and 6 of the Liquefaction Project.

Liquefaction Project Update

We continue to make progress on the Liquefaction Project, which is being developed for up to six Trains, each with an expected aggregate nominal production capacity of approximately 4.5 million tonnes per annum (“mtpa”).

The Trains are in various stages of development.

▪	Construction on Trains 1 and 2 began in August 2012, and as of March 31, 2015, the overall project completion percentage for Trains 1 and 2 was approximately 87.2%, which is ahead of the contractual schedule. Based on our current construction schedule, we anticipate that Train 1 will produce LNG as early as late 2015.

▪	Construction on Trains 3 and 4 began in May 2013, and as of March 31, 2015, the overall project completion percentage for Trains 3 and 4 was approximately 62.6%, which is ahead of the contractual schedule. We expect Trains 3 and 4 to become operational in late 2016 and 2017, respectively.

▪

Trains 5 and 6 are under development. We have entered into SPAs for approximately 3.75 mtpa in aggregate that commence with the date of first commercial delivery for Train 5. We have received authorizations from the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) to export 503 Bcf per year of LNG volumes from Trains 5 and 6 to free trade agreement (“FTA”) countries. Authorization to export LNG to non-FTA countries is pending. In April 2015, we received FERC authorization to site, construct, and operate Trains 5 and 6.

---

We will contemplate making a final investment decision to commence construction of Trains 5 and 6 based upon, among other things, entering into EPC contracts, entering into acceptable commercial arrangements, receiving all regulatory approvals and obtaining adequate financing. We expect to commence construction on Train 5 upon receiving all regulatory approvals and obtaining financing followed by Train 6 upon entering into acceptable commercial arrangements and obtaining financing.
