Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Nature of Operations	CHENIERE CORPUS CHRISTI HOLDINGS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS CCH is a Houston-based Delaware limited liability company formed in September 2014 by Cheniere to hold its limited partner interest in CCP and its equity interests in CCL and CCP GP. We are operating and constructing a natural gas liquefaction and export facility (the “Liquefaction Facilities”) and operating a 23-mile natural gas supply pipeline that interconnects the Corpus Christi LNG terminal with several interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines (the “Corpus Christi Pipeline” and together with the Liquefaction Facilities, the “Liquefaction Project”) near Corpus Christi, Texas, through our subsidiaries CCL and CCP, respectively. We are currently operating two Trains and are constructing one additional Train for a total production capacity of approximately 15 mtpa of LNG. The Liquefaction Project, once fully constructed, will contain three LNG storage tanks and two marine berths.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of CCH and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period information to the current presentation. The reclassifications did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Recent Accounting Standards We adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes Use of Estimates The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Management evaluates its estimates and related assumptions regularly, including those related to fair value measurements, revenue recognition, property, plant and equipment, derivative instruments and asset retirement obligations (“AROs”), as further discussed under the respective sections within this note. Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates, and actual results may differ from these estimates. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Hierarchy Levels 1, 2 and 3 are terms for the priority of inputs to valuation approaches used to measure fair value. Hierarchy Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Hierarchy Level 2 inputs are inputs that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Hierarchy Level 3 inputs are inputs that are not observable in the market. In determining fair value, we use observable market data when available, or models that incorporate observable market data. In addition to market information, we incorporate transaction-specific details that, in management’s judgment, market participants would take into account in measuring fair value. We maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize our use of unobservable inputs in arriving at fair value estimates. Recurring fair-value measurements are performed for derivative instruments as disclosed in Note 7—Derivative Instruments . The carrying amount of restricted cash, accounts receivables and accounts payable reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value. The fair value of debt is the estimated amount we would have to pay to repurchase our debt in the open market, including any premium or discount attributable to the difference between the stated interest rate and market interest rate at each balance sheet date. Debt fair values, as disclosed in Note 10—Debt , are based on quoted market prices for identical instruments, if available, or based on valuations of similar debt instruments using observable or unobservable inputs. Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value include AROs. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenues when we transfer control of promised goods or services to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Revenues from the sale of LNG are recognized as LNG revenues. See Note 11—Revenues from Contracts with Customers for further discussion of revenues. Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of funds that are contractually or legally restricted as to usage or withdrawal and have been presented separately from cash and cash equivalents on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable is reported net of any allowances for doubtful accounts. We periodically review the collectability on our accounts receivable and recognize an allowance if there is probability of non-collection, based on historical write-off and customer-specific factors. We did not have an allowance on our accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. Inventory LNG and natural gas inventory are recorded at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Materials and other inventory are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value and subsequently charged to expense when issued. Accounting for LNG Activities Generally, we begin capitalizing the costs of our LNG terminal once the individual project meets the following criteria: (1) regulatory approval has been received, (2) financing for the project is available and (3) management has committed to commence construction. Prior to meeting these criteria, most of the costs associated with a project are expensed as incurred. These costs primarily include professional fees associated with preliminary front-end engineering and design work, costs of securing necessary regulatory approvals and other preliminary investigation and development activities related to our LNG terminal. Generally, costs that are capitalized prior to a project meeting the criteria otherwise necessary for capitalization include: land acquisition costs, detailed engineering design work and certain permits that are capitalized as other non-current assets. The costs of lease options are amortized over the life of the lease once obtained. If no land or lease is obtained, the costs are expensed. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for construction and commissioning activities, major renewals and betterments that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs (including those for planned major maintenance projects) to maintain property, plant and equipment in operating condition are generally expensed as incurred. We realize offsets to LNG terminal costs for sales of commissioning cargoes that were earned or loaded prior to the start of commercial operations of the respective Train during the testing phase for its construction. We depreciate our property, plant and equipment using the straight-line depreciation method. Upon retirement or other disposition of property, plant and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the account, and the resulting gains or losses are recorded in impairment expense and loss (gain) on disposal of assets. Management tests property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment might not be recoverable. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets for purposes of assessing recoverability. Recoverability generally is determined by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If the carrying value of the asset is not recoverable, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the excess, if any, of the carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we recognized $5.5 million of impairment expense related to damaged infrastructure as an effect of Hurricane Harvey. We did not record any impairments related to property, plant and equipment during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Interest Capitalization We capitalize interest costs during the construction period of our LNG terminal and related assets as construction-in-process. Upon commencement of operations, these costs are transferred out of construction-in-process into terminal and interconnecting pipeline facilities assets and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset. Regulated Natural Gas Pipelines The Corpus Christi Pipeline is subject to the jurisdiction of the FERC in accordance with the Natural Gas Act of 1938 and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978. The economic effects of regulation can result in a regulated company recording as assets those costs that have been or are expected to be approved for recovery from customers, or recording as liabilities those amounts that are expected to be required to be returned to customers, in a rate-setting process in a period different from the period in which the amounts would be recorded by an unregulated enterprise. Accordingly, we record assets and liabilities that result from the regulated rate-making process that may not be recorded under GAAP for non-regulated entities. We continually assess whether regulatory assets are probable of future recovery by considering factors such as applicable regulatory changes and recent rate orders applicable to other regulated entities. Based on this continual assessment, we believe the existing regulatory assets are probable of recovery. These regulatory assets and liabilities are primarily classified in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as other assets and other liabilities. We periodically evaluate their applicability under GAAP, and consider factors such as regulatory changes and the effect of competition. If cost-based regulation ends or competition increases, we may have to reduce our asset balances to reflect a market basis less than cost and write off the associated regulatory assets and liabilities. Items that may influence our assessment are: • inability to recover cost increases due to rate caps and rate case moratoriums; • inability to recover capitalized costs, including an adequate return on those costs through the rate-making process and the FERC proceedings; • excess capacity; • increased competition and discounting in the markets we serve; and • impacts of ongoing regulatory initiatives in the natural gas industry. Natural gas pipeline costs include amounts capitalized as an Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (“AFUDC”). The rates used in the calculation of AFUDC are determined in accordance with guidelines established by the FERC. AFUDC represents the cost of debt and equity funds used to finance our natural gas pipeline additions during construction. AFUDC is capitalized as a part of the cost of our natural gas pipeline. Under regulatory rate practices, we generally are permitted to recover AFUDC, and a fair return thereon, through our rate base after the natural gas pipelines are placed in service. Derivative Instruments We use derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to cash flow variability from interest rate and commodity price risk. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities depending on the derivative position and the expected timing of settlement, unless they satisfy criteria for, and we elect, the normal purchases and sales exception. When we have the contractual right and intend to net settle, derivative assets and liabilities are reported on a net basis. Changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments are recorded in earnings, unless we elect to apply hedge accounting and meet specified criteria. We did not have any derivative instruments designated as cash flow or fair value hedges during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. See Note 7—Derivative Instruments Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of restricted cash, derivative instruments and accounts receivable. We maintain cash balances at financial institutions, which may at times be in excess of federally insured levels. We have not incurred losses related to these balances to date. The use of derivative instruments exposes us to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that a counterparty will be unable to meet its commitments. Certain of our commodity derivative transactions are executed through over-the-counter contracts which are subject to nominal credit risk as these transactions are settled on a daily margin basis with investment grade financial institutions. Collateral deposited for such contracts is recorded within other current assets. Our interest rate derivative instruments are placed with investment grade financial institutions whom we believe are acceptable credit risks. We monitor counterparty creditworthiness on an ongoing basis; however, we cannot predict sudden changes in counterparties’ creditworthiness. In addition, even if such changes are not sudden, we may be limited in our ability to mitigate an increase in counterparty credit risk. Should one of these counterparties not perform, we may not realize the benefit of some of our derivative instruments. CCL has entered into fixed price long-term SPAs generally with terms of 20 years with nine third parties and have entered into agreements with Cheniere Marketing International LLP (“Cheniere Marketing”). CCL is dependent on the respective customers’ creditworthiness and their willingness to perform under their respective SPAs. See Note 14—Customer Concentration Debt Our debt consists of current and long-term secured and unsecured debt securities and credit facilities with banks and other lenders. Debt issuances are placed directly by us or through securities dealers or underwriters and are held by institutional and retail investors. Debt is recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at par value adjusted for unamortized discount or premium and net of unamortized debt issuance costs related to term notes. Debt issuance costs consist primarily of arrangement fees, professional fees, legal fees and printing costs. If debt issuance costs are incurred in connection with a line of credit arrangement or on undrawn funds, they are presented as an asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Discounts, premiums and debt issuance costs directly related to the issuance of debt are amortized over the life of the debt and are recorded in interest expense, net of capitalized interest using the effective interest method. Gains and losses on the extinguishment or modification of debt are recorded in gain (loss) on modification or extinguishment of debt on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Asset Retirement Obligations We recognize AROs for legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the asset and for conditional AROs in which the timing or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within our control. The fair value of a liability for an ARO is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset. This additional carrying amount is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. We have not recorded an ARO associated with the Corpus Christi Pipeline. We believe that it is not feasible to predict when the natural gas transportation services provided by the Corpus Christi Pipeline will no longer be utilized. In addition, our right-of-way agreements associated with the Corpus Christi Pipeline have no stipulated termination dates. We intend to operate the Corpus Christi Pipeline as long as supply and demand for natural gas exists in the United States and intend to maintain it regularly. Income Taxes We are a disregarded entity for federal and state income tax purposes. Our taxable income or loss, which may vary substantially from the net income or loss reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Cheniere. Accordingly, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes is included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	NOTE 6—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS We have entered into the following derivative instruments that are reported at fair value: • interest rate swaps (“CCH Interest Rate Derivatives”) to hedge the exposure to volatility in a portion of the floating-rate interest payments on our amended and restated credit facility (the “CCH Credit Facility”) and to hedge against changes in interest rates that could impact anticipated future issuance of debt, which is anticipated by the end of 2020 (“CCH Interest Rate Forward Start Derivatives” and, collectively with the CCH Interest Rate Derivatives, the “Interest Rate Derivatives”) and • commodity derivatives consisting of natural gas supply contracts for the commissioning and operation of the Liquefaction Project (“Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives”) and associated economic hedges (collectively, the “Liquefaction Supply Derivatives”). We recognize our derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. None of our derivative instruments are designated as cash flow or fair value hedging instruments, and changes in fair value are recorded within our Consolidated Statements of Operations to the extent not utilized for the commissioning process. The following table shows the fair value of our derivative instruments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, which are classified as derivative assets, derivative assets—related party, non-current derivative assets, non-current derivative assets—related party, derivative liabilities or non-current derivative liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions): Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total CCH Interest Rate Derivatives liability $ — $ (197 ) $ — $ (197 ) $ — $ (81 ) $ — $ (81 ) CCH Interest Rate Forward Start Derivatives liability — (92 ) — (92 ) — (8 ) — (8 ) Liquefaction Supply Derivatives asset 2 11 202 215 3 10 35 48 We value our Interest Rate Derivatives using an income-based approach, utilizing observable inputs to the valuation model including interest rate curves, risk adjusted discount rates, credit spreads and other relevant data. We value our Liquefaction Supply Derivatives using a market-based approach incorporating present value techniques, as needed, using observable commodity price curves, when available, and other relevant data. The fair value of our Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives is predominantly driven by observable and unobservable market commodity prices and, as applicable to our natural gas supply contracts, our assessment of the associated events deriving fair value, including evaluating whether the respective market is available as pipeline infrastructure is developed. The fair value of our Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives incorporates risk premiums related to the satisfaction of conditions precedent, such as completion and placement into service of relevant pipeline infrastructure to accommodate marketable physical gas flow. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, some of our Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives existed within markets for which the pipeline infrastructure was under development to accommodate marketable physical gas flow. We include a portion of our Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy as the fair value is developed through the use of internal models which incorporate significant unobservable inputs. In instances where observable data is unavailable, consideration is given to the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. This includes assumptions about market risks, such as future prices of energy units for unobservable periods, liquidity, volatility and contract duration. The Level 3 fair value measurements of natural gas positions within our Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives could be materially impacted by a significant change in certain natural gas prices. The following table includes quantitative information for the unobservable inputs for our Level 3 Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives as of March 31, 2020: Net Fair Value Asset (in millions) Valuation Approach Significant Unobservable Input Range of Significant Unobservable Inputs / Weighted Average (1) Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives $202 Market approach incorporating present value techniques Henry Hub basis spread $(0.619) - $0.050 / (0.065) Option pricing model International LNG pricing spread, relative to Henry Hub (2) 48% - 144% / 96% (1) Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments. (2) Spread contemplates U.S. dollar-denominated pricing. Increases or decreases in basis or pricing spreads, in isolation, would decrease or increase, respectively, the fair value of our Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives. The following table shows the changes in the fair value of our Level 3 Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives, including those with related parties, during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in millions): Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 Balance, beginning of period $ 35 $ (4 ) Realized and mark-to-market gains: Included in cost of sales 164 3 Purchases and settlements: Purchases 1 1 Settlements 3 3 Transfers out of Level 3 (1) (1 ) (1 ) Balance, end of period $ 202 $ 2 Change in unrealized gains relating to instruments still held at end of period $ 164 $ 3 (1) Transferred to Level 2 as a result of observable market for the underlying natural gas purchase agreements. Derivative assets and liabilities arising from our derivative contracts with the same counterparty are reported on a net basis, as all counterparty derivative contracts provide for the unconditional right of set-off in the event of default. The use of derivative instruments exposes us to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that a counterparty will be unable to meet its commitments in instances when our derivative instruments are in an asset position. Additionally, counterparties are at risk that we will be unable to meet our commitments in instances where our derivative instruments are in a liability position. We incorporate both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, set-off rights and guarantees.

The 4.80% CCH Senior Notes were issued under an indenture dated as of September 27, 2019 pursuant to a note purchase agreement with the purchasers party thereto and Allianz Global Investors GmbH, as noteholder consultant, originally entered into in June 2019. In October 2019, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $475 million of the 3.925% CCH Senior Notes in a private placement conducted pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The 3.925% CCH Senior Notes were issued under an indenture dated October 17, 2019 pursuant to a note purchase agreement with the purchasers party thereto and certain accounts managed by BlackRock Real Assets and certain accounts managed by MetLife Investment Management. The 4.80% CCH Senior Notes and the 3.925% CCH Senior Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 4.80% and 3.925% per annum, respectively, and are fully amortizing according to a fixed sculpted amortization schedule with semi-annual payments of interest starting December 2019 and semi-annual payments of principal starting June 2027. The 4.80% CCH Senior Notes and the 3.925% CCH Senior Notes have a weighted average life of 15 years. In November 2019, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion of the 2029 CCH Senior Notes. The 2029 CCH Senior Notes were issued pursuant to the same indenture governing the 2024 CCH Senior Notes, 2025 CCH Senior Notes and 2027 CCH Senior Notes (together with the 2029 CCH Senior Notes, the "144A CCH Senior Notes"). Borrowings under the 2029 CCH Senior Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 3.700% per annum. The proceeds of the 4.80% CCH Senior Notes, 3.925% CCH Senior Notes and 2029 CCH Senior Notes were used to prepay a portion of the balance outstanding under the CCH Credit Facility, resulting in the recognition of debt modification and extinguishment costs of $38.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 relating to the write off of unamortized debt discounts and issuance costs. The 144A CCH Senior Notes, 4.80% CCH Senior Notes and 3.925% CCH Senior Notes (collectively, the “CCH Senior Notes”) are jointly and severally guaranteed by our subsidiaries, CCL, CCP and CCP GP (the “Guarantors”). The indentures governing each of the CCH Senior Notes contain customary terms and events of default and certain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock; make certain investments or pay dividends or distributions on membership interests or subordinated indebtedness or purchase, redeem or retire membership interests; sell or transfer assets, including membership or partnership interests of our restricted subsidiaries; restrict dividends or other payments by restricted subsidiaries to us or any of our restricted subsidiaries; incur liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; dissolve, liquidate, consolidate, merge, sell or lease all or substantially all of the properties or assets of us and our restricted subsidiaries taken as a whole; or permit any Guarantor to dissolve, liquidate, consolidate, merge, sell or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets. Interest on the CCH Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. At any time prior to six months before the respective dates of maturity for each of the CCH Senior Notes, we may redeem all or part of such series of the CCH Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to the “make-whole” price set forth in the appropriate indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. At any time within six months of the respective dates of maturity for each of the CCH Senior Notes, we may redeem all or part of such series of the CCH Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the CCH Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. Credit Facilities Below is a summary of our credit facilities outstanding as of December 31, 2019 (in thousands): CCH Credit Facility CCH Working Capital Facility Original facility size $ 8,403,714 $ 350,000 Incremental commitments 1,565,961 850,000 Less: Outstanding balance 3,282,655 — Commitments terminated 6,687,020 — Letters of credit issued — 470,784 Available commitment $ — $ 729,216 Interest rate on available balance LIBOR plus 1.75% or base rate plus 0.75% LIBOR plus 1.25% - 1.75% or base rate plus 0.25% - 0.75% Weighted average interest rate of outstanding balance 3.55% n/a Maturity date June 30, 2024 June 29, 2023 CCH Credit Facility In May 2018, we amended and restated the CCH Credit Facility to increase total commitments under the CCH Credit Facility from $4.6 billion to $6.1 billion. Borrowings are used to fund a portion of the costs of developing, constructing and placing into service the three Trains and the related facilities of the Liquefaction Project and for related business purposes. The CCH Credit Facility matures on June 30, 2024, with principal payments due quarterly commencing on the earlier of (1) the first quarterly payment date occurring more than three calendar months following the completion of the Liquefaction Project as defined in the common terms agreement and (2) a set date determined by reference to the date under which a certain LNG buyer linked to the last Train of the Liquefaction Project to become operational is entitled to terminate its SPA for failure to achieve the date of first commercial delivery for that agreement. Scheduled repayments will be based upon a 19-year tailored amortization, commencing the first full quarter after the completion of Trains 1 through 3 and designed to achieve a minimum projected fixed debt service coverage ratio of 1.50:1. Loans under the CCH Credit Facility accrue interest at a variable rate per annum equal to, at our election, LIBOR or the base rate (determined by reference to the applicable agent’s prime rate), plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans is 1.75% and for base rate loans is 0.75%. Interest on LIBOR loans is due and payable at the end of each applicable interest period and interest on base rate loans is due and payable at the end of each quarter. The CCH Credit Facility also requires us to pay a commitment fee at a rate per annum equal to 40% of the margin for LIBOR loans, multiplied by the outstanding undrawn debt commitments. Our obligations under the CCH Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets and our subsidiaries and by a pledge by CCH HoldCo I of its limited liability company interests in us, on a pari passu basis with the CCH Senior Notes and the CCH Working Capital Facility. Under the CCH Credit Facility, we are required to hedge not less than 65% of the variable interest rate exposure of our senior secured debt. We are restricted from making certain distributions under agreements governing our indebtedness generally until, among other requirements, the completion of the construction of Trains 1 through 3 of the Liquefaction Project, funding of a debt service reserve account equal to six months of debt service and achieving a historical debt service coverage ratio and fixed projected debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.25:1.00. The amendment and restatement of the CCH Credit Facility resulted in the recognition of $15.3 million of debt modification and extinguishment costs during the year ended December 31, 2018 relating to the incurrence of third party fees and write off of unamortized debt issuance costs. We were required to pay certain upfront fees to the agents and lenders under the CCH Credit Facility together with additional transaction fees and expenses in the aggregate amount of $53.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. As part of the capital allocation framework announced by Cheniere in June 2019, we prepaid $152.8 million of outstanding borrowings under the CCH Credit Facility during the year ended December 31, 2019. The prepayment resulted in the recognition of debt extinguishment costs of $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. CCH Working Capital Facility In June 2018, we amended and restated the CCH Working Capital Facility to increase total commitments under the CCH Working Capital Facility from $350 million to $1.2 billion. The CCH Working Capital Facility is intended to be used for loans (“CCH Working Capital Loans”) and the issuance of letters of credit for certain working capital requirements related to developing and operating the Liquefaction Project and for related business purposes. Loans under the CCH Working Capital Facility are guaranteed by the Guarantors. We may, from time to time, request increases in the commitments under the CCH Working Capital Facility of up to the maximum allowed for working capital under the Common Terms Agreement that was entered into concurrently with the CCH Credit Facility. Loans under the CCH Working Capital Facility, including CCH Working Capital Loans and loans made in connection with a draw upon any letter of credit (“CCH LC Loans” and collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) accrue interest at a variable rate per annum equal to LIBOR or the base rate (equal to the highest of (1) the prime rate, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) one month LIBOR plus 0.50%) plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin for LIBOR Revolving Loans ranges from 1.25% 1.75% 0.25% 0.75% We pay (1) a commitment fee equal to an annual rate of 40% of the applicable margin for LIBOR Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of the excess of the total commitment amount over the principal amount outstanding, (2) a letter of credit fee equal to an annual rate equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR Revolving Loans on the undrawn portion of all letters of credit issued under the CCH Working Capital Facility and (3) a letter of credit fronting fee equal to an annual rate of 0.20% of the undrawn portion of all fronted letters of credit. Each of these fees is payable quarterly in arrears. If draws are made upon a letter of credit issued under the CCH Working Capital Facility and we do not elect for such draw (a “CCH LC Draw”) to be deemed a CCH LC Loan, we are required to pay the full amount of the CCH LC Draw on or prior to the business day following the notice of the CCH LC Draw. A CCH LC Draw accrues interest at an annual rate of 2.00% plus the base rate. We were required to pay certain upfront fees to the agents and lenders under the CCH Working Capital Facility together with additional transaction fees and expenses in the aggregate amount of $13.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. The CCH Working Capital Facility matures on June 29, 2023 and we may prepay the Revolving Loans at any time without premium or penalty upon three business days’ notice and may re-borrow at any time. CCH LC Loans have a term of up to one year. We are required to reduce the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all CCH Working Capital Loans to zero for a period of five consecutive business days at least once each year. The CCH Working Capital Facility contains conditions precedent for extensions of credit, as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants. Our obligations under the CCH Working Capital Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of the Guarantors as well as all of the membership interests in us and the membership interest in each of the Guarantors on a pari passu Restrictive Debt Covenants As of December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants related to our debt agreements.

If contractually the customer cannot make up unexercised quantities in future periods, our performance obligation with respect to declined volumes is satisfied, and revenue associated with any unexercised quantities is generally recognized upon notice of customer cancellation. (2) See Note 6—Derivative Instruments Contract Assets and Liabilities The following table shows our contract assets, which are classified as other non-current assets, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions): March 31, December 31, 2020 2019 Contract assets $ 12 $ — Contract assets represent our right to consideration for transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract when the associated consideration is not yet due. Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations Because many of our sales contracts have long-term durations, we are contractually entitled to significant future consideration which we have not yet recognized as revenue. The following table discloses the aggregate amount of the transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019: March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Unsatisfied Transaction Price (in billions) Weighted Average Recognition Timing (years) (1) Unsatisfied Transaction Price (in billions) Weighted Average Recognition Timing (years) (1) LNG revenues $ 33.4 11 $ 33.6 11 LNG revenues—affiliate 1.0 13 1.0 13 Total revenues $ 34.4 $ 34.6 (1) The weighted average recognition timing represents an estimate of the number of years during which we shall have recognized half of the unsatisfied transaction price. We have elected the following exemptions which omit certain potential future sources of revenue from the table above: (1) We omit from the table above all performance obligations that are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. (2) The table above excludes substantially all variable consideration under our SPAs. We omit from the table above all variable consideration that is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation when that performance obligation qualifies as a series. The amount of revenue from variable fees that is not included in the transaction price will vary based on the future prices of Henry Hub throughout the contract terms, to the extent customers elect to take delivery of their LNG, and adjustments to the consumer price index. Certain of our contracts contain additional variable consideration based on the outcome of contingent events and the movement of various indexes. We have not included such variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent the consideration is considered constrained due to the uncertainty of ultimate pricing and receipt. Approximately 36% and 100% during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, of our LNG revenues were related to variable consideration received from customers. All of our LNG revenues—affiliate were related to variable consideration received from customers during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. We have entered into contracts to sell LNG that are conditioned upon one or both of the parties achieving certain milestones such as reaching a final investment decision on a certain liquefaction Train, obtaining financing or achieving substantial completion of a Train and any related facilities. These contracts are considered completed contracts for revenue recognition purposes and are included in the transaction price above when the conditions are considered probable of being met.	NOTE 11—REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue earned from contracts with customers during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 LNG revenues $ 678,843 $ — $ — LNG revenues—affiliate 726,100 — — Total revenues from customers 1,404,943 — — Net derivative gains (1) 227 — — Total revenues $ 1,405,170 $ — $ — (1) See Note 7—Derivative Instruments LNG Revenues We have entered into numerous SPAs with third party customers for the sale of LNG on a free on board (“FOB”) (delivered to the customer at the Corpus Christi LNG terminal) basis. Our customers generally purchase LNG for a price consisting of a fixed fee per MMBtu of LNG (a portion of which is subject to annual adjustment for inflation) plus a variable fee per MMBtu of LNG equal to approximately 115% of Henry Hub. The fixed fee component is the amount payable to us regardless of a cancellation or suspension of LNG cargo deliveries by the customers. The variable fee component is the amount generally payable to us only upon delivery of LNG plus all future adjustments to the fixed fee for inflation. The SPAs and contracted volumes to be made available under the SPAs are not tied to a specific Train; however, the term of each SPA generally commences upon the date of first commercial delivery of a specified Train. Additionally, we have agreements with Cheniere Marketing for which the related revenues are recorded as LNG revenues—affiliate. See Note 12—Related Party Transactions for additional information regarding these agreements. Revenues from the sale of LNG are recognized at a point in time when the LNG is delivered to the customer, at the Corpus Christi LNG terminal, which is the point legal title, physical possession and the risks and rewards of ownership transfer to the customer. Each individual molecule of LNG is viewed as a separate performance obligation. The stated contract price (including both fixed and variable fees) per MMBtu in each LNG sales arrangement is representative of the stand-alone selling price for LNG at the time the contract was negotiated. We have concluded that the variable fees meet the exception for allocating variable consideration to specific parts of the contract. As such, the variable consideration for these contracts is allocated to each distinct molecule of LNG and recognized when that distinct molecule of LNG is delivered to the customer. Because of the use of the exception, variable consideration related to the sale of LNG is also not included in the transaction price. Fees received pursuant to SPAs are recognized as LNG revenues only after substantial completion of the respective Train. Prior to substantial completion, sales generated during the commissioning phase are offset against the cost of construction for the respective Train, as the production and removal of LNG from storage is necessary to test the facility and bring the asset to the condition necessary for its intended use. Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations Because many of our sales contracts have long-term durations, we are contractually entitled to significant future consideration which we have not yet recognized as revenue. The following table discloses the aggregate amount of the transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied as of December 31, 2019 and 2018: December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Unsatisfied Transaction Price (in billions) Weighted Average Recognition Timing (years) (1) Unsatisfied Transaction Price (in billions) Weighted Average Recognition Timing (years) (1) LNG revenues $ 33.6 11 $ 33.9 12 LNG revenues—affiliate 1.0 13 1.0 14 Total revenues $ 34.6 $ 34.9 (1) The weighted average recognition timing represents an estimate of the number of years during which we shall have recognized half of the unsatisfied transaction price.

We have not included such variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent the consideration is considered constrained due to the uncertainty of ultimate pricing and receipt. Approximately 44% during the year ended December 31, 2019 of our LNG revenues were related to variable consideration received from customers. All We have entered into contracts to sell LNG that are conditioned upon one or both of the parties achieving certain milestones such as reaching a final investment decision on a certain liquefaction Train, obtaining financing or achieving substantial completion of a Train and any related facilities.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation, Policy	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of CCH have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.	Basis of Presentation Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of CCH and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period information to the current presentation. The reclassifications did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Use of Estimates, Policy		Use of Estimates The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Management evaluates its estimates and related assumptions regularly, including those related to fair value measurements, revenue recognition, property, plant and equipment, derivative instruments and asset retirement obligations (“AROs”), as further discussed under the respective sections within this note. Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates, and actual results may differ from these estimates.
Fair Value Measurements, Policy		Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Hierarchy Levels 1, 2 and 3 are terms for the priority of inputs to valuation approaches used to measure fair value. Hierarchy Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Hierarchy Level 2 inputs are inputs that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Hierarchy Level 3 inputs are inputs that are not observable in the market. In determining fair value, we use observable market data when available, or models that incorporate observable market data. In addition to market information, we incorporate transaction-specific details that, in management’s judgment, market participants would take into account in measuring fair value. We maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize our use of unobservable inputs in arriving at fair value estimates. Recurring fair-value measurements are performed for derivative instruments as disclosed in Note 7—Derivative Instruments . The carrying amount of restricted cash, accounts receivables and accounts payable reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value. The fair value of debt is the estimated amount we would have to pay to repurchase our debt in the open market, including any premium or discount attributable to the difference between the stated interest rate and market interest rate at each balance sheet date. Debt fair values, as disclosed in Note 10—Debt , are based on quoted market prices for identical instruments, if available, or based on valuations of similar debt instruments using observable or unobservable inputs. Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value include AROs.
Revenue Recognition		Revenue Recognition We recognize revenues when we transfer control of promised goods or services to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Revenues from the sale of LNG are recognized as LNG revenues. See Note 11—Revenues from Contracts with Customers for further discussion of revenues.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy		Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash, Policy		Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of funds that are contractually or legally restricted as to usage or withdrawal and have been presented separately from cash and cash equivalents on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Receivables, Policy		Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable is reported net of any allowances for doubtful accounts. We periodically review the collectability on our accounts receivable and recognize an allowance if there is probability of non-collection, based on historical write-off and customer-specific factors. We did not have an allowance on our accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Inventory, Policy		Inventory LNG and natural gas inventory are recorded at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Materials and other inventory are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value and subsequently charged to expense when issued.
Accounting For LNG Activities, Policy		Accounting for LNG Activities Generally, we begin capitalizing the costs of our LNG terminal once the individual project meets the following criteria: (1) regulatory approval has been received, (2) financing for the project is available and (3) management has committed to commence construction. Prior to meeting these criteria, most of the costs associated with a project are expensed as incurred. These costs primarily include professional fees associated with preliminary front-end engineering and design work, costs of securing necessary regulatory approvals and other preliminary investigation and development activities related to our LNG terminal. Generally, costs that are capitalized prior to a project meeting the criteria otherwise necessary for capitalization include: land acquisition costs, detailed engineering design work and certain permits that are capitalized as other non-current assets. The costs of lease options are amortized over the life of the lease once obtained. If no land or lease is obtained, the costs are expensed.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy		Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for construction and commissioning activities, major renewals and betterments that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs (including those for planned major maintenance projects) to maintain property, plant and equipment in operating condition are generally expensed as incurred. We realize offsets to LNG terminal costs for sales of commissioning cargoes that were earned or loaded prior to the start of commercial operations of the respective Train during the testing phase for its construction. We depreciate our property, plant and equipment using the straight-line depreciation method. Upon retirement or other disposition of property, plant and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the account, and the resulting gains or losses are recorded in impairment expense and loss (gain) on disposal of assets. Management tests property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment might not be recoverable. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets for purposes of assessing recoverability. Recoverability generally is determined by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If the carrying value of the asset is not recoverable, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the excess, if any, of the carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we recognized $5.5 million of impairment expense related to damaged infrastructure as an effect of Hurricane Harvey. We did not record any impairments related to property, plant and equipment during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Interest Capitalization, Policy		Interest Capitalization We capitalize interest costs during the construction period of our LNG terminal and related assets as construction-in-process. Upon commencement of operations, these costs are transferred out of construction-in-process into terminal and interconnecting pipeline facilities assets and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Regulated Natural Gas Pipelines, Policy		Regulated Natural Gas Pipelines The Corpus Christi Pipeline is subject to the jurisdiction of the FERC in accordance with the Natural Gas Act of 1938 and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978. The economic effects of regulation can result in a regulated company recording as assets those costs that have been or are expected to be approved for recovery from customers, or recording as liabilities those amounts that are expected to be required to be returned to customers, in a rate-setting process in a period different from the period in which the amounts would be recorded by an unregulated enterprise. Accordingly, we record assets and liabilities that result from the regulated rate-making process that may not be recorded under GAAP for non-regulated entities. We continually assess whether regulatory assets are probable of future recovery by considering factors such as applicable regulatory changes and recent rate orders applicable to other regulated entities. Based on this continual assessment, we believe the existing regulatory assets are probable of recovery. These regulatory assets and liabilities are primarily classified in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as other assets and other liabilities. We periodically evaluate their applicability under GAAP, and consider factors such as regulatory changes and the effect of competition. If cost-based regulation ends or competition increases, we may have to reduce our asset balances to reflect a market basis less than cost and write off the associated regulatory assets and liabilities. Items that may influence our assessment are: • inability to recover cost increases due to rate caps and rate case moratoriums; • inability to recover capitalized costs, including an adequate return on those costs through the rate-making process and the FERC proceedings; • excess capacity; • increased competition and discounting in the markets we serve; and • impacts of ongoing regulatory initiatives in the natural gas industry. Natural gas pipeline costs include amounts capitalized as an Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (“AFUDC”). The rates used in the calculation of AFUDC are determined in accordance with guidelines established by the FERC. AFUDC represents the cost of debt and equity funds used to finance our natural gas pipeline additions during construction. AFUDC is capitalized as a part of the cost of our natural gas pipeline. Under regulatory rate practices, we generally are permitted to recover AFUDC, and a fair return thereon, through our rate base after the natural gas pipelines are placed in service.
Derivative Instruments, Policy		Derivative Instruments We use derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to cash flow variability from interest rate and commodity price risk. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities depending on the derivative position and the expected timing of settlement, unless they satisfy criteria for, and we elect, the normal purchases and sales exception. When we have the contractual right and intend to net settle, derivative assets and liabilities are reported on a net basis. Changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments are recorded in earnings, unless we elect to apply hedge accounting and meet specified criteria. We did not have any derivative instruments designated as cash flow or fair value hedges during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. See Note 7—Derivative Instruments
Concentration of Credit Risk, Policy		Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of restricted cash, derivative instruments and accounts receivable. We maintain cash balances at financial institutions, which may at times be in excess of federally insured levels. We have not incurred losses related to these balances to date. The use of derivative instruments exposes us to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that a counterparty will be unable to meet its commitments. Certain of our commodity derivative transactions are executed through over-the-counter contracts which are subject to nominal credit risk as these transactions are settled on a daily margin basis with investment grade financial institutions. Collateral deposited for such contracts is recorded within other current assets. Our interest rate derivative instruments are placed with investment grade financial institutions whom we believe are acceptable credit risks. We monitor counterparty creditworthiness on an ongoing basis; however, we cannot predict sudden changes in counterparties’ creditworthiness. In addition, even if such changes are not sudden, we may be limited in our ability to mitigate an increase in counterparty credit risk. Should one of these counterparties not perform, we may not realize the benefit of some of our derivative instruments. CCL has entered into fixed price long-term SPAs generally with terms of 20 years with nine third parties and have entered into agreements with Cheniere Marketing International LLP (“Cheniere Marketing”). CCL is dependent on the respective customers’ creditworthiness and their willingness to perform under their respective SPAs. See Note 14—Customer Concentration
Debt, Policy		Debt Our debt consists of current and long-term secured and unsecured debt securities and credit facilities with banks and other lenders. Debt issuances are placed directly by us or through securities dealers or underwriters and are held by institutional and retail investors. Debt is recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at par value adjusted for unamortized discount or premium and net of unamortized debt issuance costs related to term notes. Debt issuance costs consist primarily of arrangement fees, professional fees, legal fees and printing costs. If debt issuance costs are incurred in connection with a line of credit arrangement or on undrawn funds, they are presented as an asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Discounts, premiums and debt issuance costs directly related to the issuance of debt are amortized over the life of the debt and are recorded in interest expense, net of capitalized interest using the effective interest method. Gains and losses on the extinguishment or modification of debt are recorded in gain (loss) on modification or extinguishment of debt on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Asset Retirement Obligations, Policy		Asset Retirement Obligations We recognize AROs for legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the asset and for conditional AROs in which the timing or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within our control. The fair value of a liability for an ARO is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset. This additional carrying amount is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. We have not recorded an ARO associated with the Corpus Christi Pipeline. We believe that it is not feasible to predict when the natural gas transportation services provided by the Corpus Christi Pipeline will no longer be utilized. In addition, our right-of-way agreements associated with the Corpus Christi Pipeline have no stipulated termination dates. We intend to operate the Corpus Christi Pipeline as long as supply and demand for natural gas exists in the United States and intend to maintain it regularly.
