New Fortress Energy LLC rose 62.5% in premarket trading after Puerto Rico had negotiated a $4 billion liquefied natural gas contract with New Fortress Energy, Governor Jenniffer Gonzalez said on Tuesday in a post on social media.
The supply deal, which comes after talks for a much larger contract broke down in July, reduced the term to seven years from 15 years - with the option to extend for an additional three years - and also eliminated exclusivity clauses.
Gonzalez said prices for the LNG cargoes were more competitive, with some premiums reduced.
"This agreement contributes to the process of Puerto Rico's energy transition, reducing dependence on more polluting fossil fuels," said Josue Colon, who was appointed to oversee the territory's energy sector earlier this year.
