Background
The New Fortress LNG storage and regasification terminal in Montego Bay, Jamaica (the "Montego Bay Terminal") serves as a supply hub for the north side of Jamaica. The terminal provides gas to local customers by truck, and also fuels the 120 MW Bogue power station in Montego Bay, Jamaica via a direct pipeline connection.[9]
The Montego Bay Terminal commenced commercial operations on October 30, 2016 and stores approximately two million gallons of LNG in seven storage tanks. The Montego Bay Terminal also consists of an ISO loading facility that can transport LNG to all industrial and manufacturing ("small-scale") customers across the island. The small-scale business provides these users with an alternative fuel to support their business operations.[10]
2025 change of ownership
In March 2025, Excelerate Energy announced it would acquire the Montego Bay Terminal from New Fortress Energy as part of a US$1.055 billion deal encompassing all of NFE's Jamaican assets.[11][12][13][14] The sale was officially closed in the second quarter of 2025.[15]
