Clean Energy Fuels Corp. has been awarded two separate contracts to design and install liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling systems for gas-to-power applications in Puerto Rico. The projects, signed with P.R. Energy Partners and a global healthcare supplier, will provide energy security and resiliency to both companies. These agreements mark Clean Energy's first LNG supply infrastructure deals in Puerto Rico, together fueling 10-megawatts of total installed power.

Under the agreement with the healthcare products supplier, Clean Energy will provide LNG station equipment and installation to support its local pharmaceutical manufacturing operations. The company has committed to ensuring energy reliability for its operations in Puerto Rico, choosing natural gas and an LNG station as its dependable energy source.

Clean Energy has also entered into an agreement with P.R. Energy Partners, a Puerto Rican end-to-end energy solutions distributer and infrastructure developer. For this project, Clean Energy will design and build an LNG supply station that will fuel a six-megawatt combined heat and power plant (CHP) supporting their luxury residential and hotel operations in Puerto Rico.

"P.R. Energy Partners is committed to providing our customers with clean, reliable power as well as contributing to a more robust and stable energy grid for our island of Puerto Rico," said Eduardo M. Cortes, Managing Partner at P.R. Energy Partners.

"There are several firsts for Clean Energy with these two agreements as we expand our LNG infrastructure offering to a new customer base in Puerto Rico," said Sean Columbia, General Manager of CE Technologies at Clean Energy. "Being chosen as the trusted partners and experts in natural gas & LNG supply systems is a confirmation of our expansion into different energy services. These projects demonstrate the reliability and scalability of our engineered LNG solutions and will help strengthen energy resilience on the island."

By delivering modular LNG fueling infrastructure, Clean Energy allows customers to transition to more dependable energy systems and can deliver both primary and backup power across diverse applications. These include manufacturing facilities, hospitals, data centers, port operations during LNG marine bunkering, industrial zones, and power generation sites in grid-constrained markets.

P.R. Energy Partners LNG supply station for combined heat and power plant (CHP) 6-megawatts
Total First LNG supply infrastructure deals in Puerto Rico 10-megawatts

LNG is a cleaner-burning fuel that helps reduce emissions compared to traditional energy sources like diesel or fuel oil. By switching to LNG, companies can support better air quality while maintaining reliable and efficient power for their operations.

Will Clean Energy Fuels pursue similar LNG infrastructure contracts in other Caribbean markets following this Puerto Rico expansion?

How might these initial projects influence the regulatory environment for LNG adoption in Puerto Rico's energy sector?

Could the success of these gas-to-power applications drive demand for LNG marine bunkering at Puerto Rico's ports?
