A energia de emergência da NFE em San Juan está a apoiar a matriz energética de Porto Rico

HISTÓRIA REPLETA DE ENERGIA

Estamos a abastecer San Juan com energia positiva

Desenvolvemos uma instalação de energia de 200 MW em San Juan para atender à solicitação da FEMA a fim de apoiar a matriz energética de Porto Rico. A instalação de energia de San Juan está localizada ao lado do terminal de GNL de San Juan, a apenas 11 quilómetros da instalação de energia de Palo Seco. A instalação gera 200 MW de energia a partir de dez unidades móveis de 25 MW e, ao mesmo tempo, obtém mais 19 TBTU de gás natural liquefeito essencial por meio do nosso terminal de GNL em San Juan.

Fornecimento de acesso crítico à energia

Porto Rico tem sofrido historicamente com a escassez crítica de energia eléctrica causada devido ao envelhecimento da infra-estrutura e aos estragos causados por furacões. Os estragos constantes na ilha levaram a uma rede eléctrica instável e a frequentes quedas de energia. Durante os meses mais quentes do Verão da ilha e quando os furacões são mais prevalentes, essas quedas de energia não ameaçam apenas a vida, pois são também prejudiciais à economia de Porto Rico. Estima-se que cada evento de corte de carga custe a Porto Rico US$ 14 milhões, com perdas totais que podem chegar a aproximadamente US$ 700 milhões por ano, considerando o actual estado do sistema⁽¹⁾.

Auxílio aos nossos vizinhos

É por isso que intervimos.

Para ajudar a estabilizar a matriz da ilha antes da temporada de furacões, a Agência Federal de Gestão de Emergências (Federal Emergency Management Agency/FEMA) encarregou o Corpo de Engenheiros do Exército dos Estados Unidos (USACE) de providenciar até 700 MW de energia de emergência. Respondemos rapidamente ao desafio e instalámos 200 MW de energia de emergência em San Juan, a poucos metros do nosso terminal de San Juan. A instalação de energia de San Juan está a ajudar a estabilizar a rede de Porto Rico e a fornecer energia mais limpa e fiável para a ilha.

Também instalámos mais 150 MW de energia de emergência em Palo Seco, adjacente ao nosso terminal de San Juan e ao local de instalação de energia em San Juan. A instalação consiste em geradores de combustível duplo que são abastecidos com o gás natural do nosso terminal de San Juan por meio de camiões.

Temos orgulho de abastecer Porto Rico com energia positiva e fazer a nossa parte no fornecimento de acesso crítico à energia nas comunidades que mais precisam dela!

Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this communication other than historical information are forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks and relate to future events, our future financial performance or our projected business results.

Forward looking statements include but are not limited to: supply of additional 200MW of emergency power at San Juan with natural gas from our terminal; expectations that installation will be fully operational in July 2023; and statements that the additional capacity will further enhance the island’s power infrastructure and help ensure power supply.

These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates based upon current information and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control. Actual results or events may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Specific factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: unknown and unforeseen risks related to the construction or commissioning schedule of the facilities, including incompatibility of systems, delays and schedule changes, regulatory and legal challenges; the receipt of permits, approvals and authorizations from governmental and regulatory agencies on a timely basis or at all; breach or failure by the parties to comply with the covenants and obligations under the agreements; nonpayment or nonperformance of obligations by the parties; adverse regional, national, or international economic conditions, adverse capital market conditions and adverse political developments; and the impact of public health crises, such as pandemics (including coronavirus (COVID-19)) and epidemics and any related company or government policies and actions to protect the health and safety of individuals or government policies or actions to maintain the functioning of national or global economies and markets. These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of the Company’s forward-looking statements. Other known or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on future results.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no duty to update or revise these forward-looking statements, even though our situation may change in the future. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all such factors. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements included in New Fortress Energy Inc.’s annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which could cause its actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
