What New Fortress Energy does
New Fortress Energy is a publicly traded global LNG infrastructure company headquartered in New York, founded in 2014, that develops, owns, and operates an integrated portfolio of liquefied natural gas supply, import and export terminals, and gas-fired power generation assets across more than eight countries, with principal operations in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Brazil, Ireland, Nicaragua, Egypt, and the United States. The company's core technology is its proprietary Fast LNG modular floating liquefaction solution, which deploys FLNG units on jack-up rigs, fixed jackets, and Sevan semi-submersibles to deliver approximately 1.4 million tons per annum of LNG per unit in roughly 18 months, enabling rapid, low-cost deployment of offshore liquefaction infrastructure. NFE integrates this upstream capability with downstream FSRU/FSU operations (largely held through the $2 billion Energos Infrastructure joint venture with Apollo Global Management) and a fleet of owned and operated power plants including San Juan and Palo Seco in Puerto Rico, La Paz in Mexico, Barcarena and CELBA 2 in Brazil.
The company's revenue model combines usage-based LNG supply contracts with governments and industrial customers, long-term terminal capacity and lease agreements, electricity sales from owned power plants, and recurring equipment lease structures. Major customer relationships include a seven-year $3.18 billion LNG supply contract with the Puerto Rico government (priced at 115% of Henry Hub plus premiums), partnership with Mexico's state-owned utility CFE for the Altamira Fast LNG hub, FSRU charters with Egypt's EGAS, and long-term gas supply agreements with industrial customers including Hydro's Alunorte alumina refinery and Alcoa's Jamalco operation. Pricing is negotiated on a project basis, with sales cycles measured in years given the capital-intensive nature of LNG-to-power infrastructure projects.
As of 2025-2026, NFE is undergoing a severe financial restructuring precipitated by approximately $9.3 billion in total debt, a $1.8 billion net loss in FY2025, and a 36% revenue decline year-over-year. The company divested Jamaica assets to Excelerate Energy for $1.055 billion in May 2025 and entered into a UK Restructuring Plan approved in June 2026 that will split the business into a leaner publicly traded NewNFE (with existing shareholders retaining approximately 35%) and a creditor-controlled BrazilCo holding Brazilian operations, reducing debt from approximately $5.7 billion to $527.5 million. Founder and CEO Wes Edens continues to lead the company through this transition.

Revenue model
- LNG Sales and Supply: NFE generates revenue primarily from selling LNG to power generation companies, industrial customers, and governments. LNG is supplied from company-operated terminals (Puerto Rico, Jamaica pre-sale, Mexico, Brazil) and the Fast LNG offshore facility. Revenue is consumption-based and multi-year contracted with major customers like the Puerto Rico government (7-year, ~$3.18 billion).
- Terminal Capacity and Lease Agreements: NFE earns fees from terminal capacity agreements at its LNG import terminals (Barcarena, Santa Catarina, Puerto Rico). The Santa Catarina TGS terminal lease is expected to generate $50 million in annual EBITDA by 2027.
- Power Generation and Electricity Sales: NFE operates power plants (San Juan, Palo Seco in Puerto Rico; La Paz in Mexico; Barcarena and CELBA 2 in Brazil; Jamaica CHP) and earns revenue from electricity sales to grid operators and industrial customers under long-term power purchase agreements.
- Asset Sales and Divestitures: NFE has pursued asset sales to reduce debt and improve liquidity, including the $1.055 billion sale of Jamaica operations to Excelerate Energy (May 2025) and the sale of Miami liquefaction facility.
- Equipment Sale-Leaseback: NFE has executed sale-leaseback transactions on power generation equipment, such as the $265.9 million turbine sale-leaseback with Macquarie, to unlock capital from existing assets.

New Fortress Energy competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Excelerate Energy: Excelerate is a leading FSRU operator and LNG import terminal developer with a directly overlapping business model — it recently acquired NFE's Jamaica assets for ~$1.055B and competes head-to-head for FSRU charters and LNG-to-power projects in emerging markets.
- Tellurian: Tellurian is developing the Driftwood LNG export project and integrated upstream gas production, with a similar full-stack LNG-to-power ambition as NFE, though smaller in scale and focused on a single U.S. asset.
- Höegh LNG: Höegh LNG operates a fleet of FSRUs and is a direct competitor in floating LNG import terminal services — a core piece of NFE's business model — particularly in emerging markets and island/coastal jurisdictions.
- Golar LNG: Golar LNG operates FSRUs and FLNG vessels and was acquired by NFE in 2021 as part of the combined Hygo/Golar transaction. Although now part of the NFE group, Golar's standalone floating LNG operations remain a comparable benchmark for FLNG/FSRU economics.
Broad incumbents
- Cheniere Energy: Cheniere is the largest U.S. LNG exporter (Sabine Pass, Corpus Christi) and a broad incumbent in the LNG value chain. While it focuses on large-scale U.S. export rather than NFE's offshore/floating niche, it competes for offtake customers and LNG supply contracts globally.
- Sempra Infrastructure: Sempra Infrastructure develops, owns, and operates LNG export terminals (Cameron LNG), regasification, and renewable energy infrastructure. It is a broad incumbent with overlapping capabilities in LNG-to-power, particularly in Mexico where it competes with NFE.
- AES Corporation: AES is a global power generation and utilities company with significant LNG-to-power and renewable operations in the Caribbean and Latin America — the same geographic footprint as NFE — and competes for power purchase agreements with the same government counterparties.
- Shell plc: Shell is a global integrated LNG major with extensive LNG trading, shipping, and regasification capabilities, competing with NFE for large-scale LNG supply contracts and energy infrastructure deals in emerging markets.
Emerging players
- Venture Global LNG: Venture Global is a fast-growing U.S. LNG export developer (Calcasieu Pass, Plaquemines, CP2) that has LNG sale and purchase agreements with NFE. It competes for global LNG supply contracts and increasingly overlaps with NFE's fast-to-market development approach.
- NextDecade: NextDecade is developing the Rio Grande LNG export facility in Texas. It shares NFE's integrated LNG development approach and competes for similar customer segments, though with a different geographic and technical footprint.
