June 2 (LNGJ) - New Fortress Energy Inc., the US developer of power and LNG export and import ventures, has received an export permit from Mexico’s Ministry of Energy for its Altamira “Fast LNG” facility proposed for the Gulf of Mexico.
Under the permit, NFE said it was now authorised to export up to 7.8 million tonnes of LNG through April 2028, providing ample capacity to support the operations of the planned 1.4 MTPA facility through the permitted period. NFE has already received authorisation from the US Department of Energy to export US-sourced LNG to Mexico and other Free Trade Agreement countries. “This permit is the final piece to the puzzle for launching our first ‘Fast LNG’ in Altamira,” said Wes Edens, NFE Chairman and Chief Executive.
