New Fortress Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:NFE) ("NFE" or the "Company") today is pleased to provide an update on its initial Fast LNG asset located offshore Altamira, Mexico ("FLNG").

NFE's FLNG asset is performing well as expected. The asset is scheduled to conclude commissioning and its preproduction run on Friday, August 9th, with the first partial LNG cargo set to be loaded onto the Energos Princess. This cargo will then be delivered to NFE's La Paz, Mexico terminal in the following days.

Following the significant milestone of first load, our FLNG asset will undergo a scheduled maintenance outage of several days. After this, FLNG will resume operations and is expected to reach full production later in August 2024.

"Being able to supply our customers with our own LNG has been a goal for the company for many years. Natural gas and power supply are critical components of a sustainable, affordable, and cleaner energy system and we are grateful to now be able to provide an end-to-end solution for our customers. This milestone reinforces NFE's position as a leading vertically integrated gas to power company," said Wes Edens, Chairman and CEO of New Fortress Energy.
