We have acted as special counsel to Cheniere Energy Partners LP Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation of a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-191298), as amended (as amended at the effective date thereof and together with the registration statement filed with respect to such registration statement under Rule 462(b) under the Act (as herein defined), the “Registration Statement”), of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) relating to the registration of the offering and sale (the “Offering”) of common shares representing limited liability company interests in the Company (the “Shares”).

In connection therewith, we have participated in the preparation of the discussion set forth under the caption “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the Registration Statement (the “Discussion”). The Discussion, subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated in the Discussion and the limitations and qualifications set forth herein, constitutes our opinion as to the material United States federal income tax consequences for purchasers of the Shares pursuant to the Offering.

This opinion letter is limited to the matters set forth herein, and no opinions are intended to be implied or may be inferred beyond those expressly stated herein. We assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion or any matter related to this opinion to reflect any change of fact, circumstances, or law after the effective date of the Registration Statement. In addition, our opinion is based on the assumption that the matter will be properly presented to the applicable court.

Furthermore, our opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or a court. In addition, we must note that our opinion represents merely our best legal judgment on the matters presented and that others may disagree with our conclusion. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not take a contrary position or that a court would agree with our opinion if litigated.
