Insights

The sale of NFE's Miami LNG business to Pennybacker represents a strategic divestment that will impact NFE's operational footprint and revenue stream. The facility's 8,300 MMBtu per day production capacity, while relatively small-scale, has been serving key sectors including hospitality, industrial and marine customers. The 15-40% cost advantage over traditional fuels indicates strong market positioning, though the transaction value remains undisclosed.

This divestment aligns with NFE's broader strategy of optimizing its asset portfolio. The company can now redirect capital and focus on larger-scale LNG projects while maintaining presence in other strategic markets. For investors, this move suggests a shift toward larger, potentially more profitable ventures, though it may temporarily impact near-term revenues from the Florida market.

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pennybacker Capital Management, LLC (Pennybacker), a leading real assets investment manager, today announced it has completed the acquisition of the small-scale Florida-based liquefied natural gas production and distribution business (Miami LNG business) from New Fortress Energy Inc.

In connection with the acquisition, Pennybacker has appointed Daniel McLaughlin as President and Chief Commercial Officer to lead the Miami LNG business. McLaughlin has more than 10 years of experience in the energy sector.
