What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

New Fortress Energy stopped gas supply to a power plant in San Juan on October 9, 2026, while using the Amur River tanker for LNG transport. The Public-Private Partnerships Authority states the gas stoppage is costing the territory about $1.25 million a day in replacement diesel fuel. Since September 16, the extra cost has exceeded $27.5 million. The government has ordered a formal claim against New Fortress Energy based on a "deliver or pay" clause in the purchase agreement.
