New Fortress Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NFE) (the “Company”) announced that it has completed the sale of its 20% equity interest in Energos Infrastructure (“Energos”) to funds managed by Apollo (NYSE: APO) (the “Apollo Funds”). The Company intends to use net proceeds from this transaction for general corporate purposes, including repaying debt and investing in accretive downstream projects.

Energos is a global maritime infrastructure company formed by NFE and Apollo Funds in August 2022 to provide LNG delivery, storage, and regasification services to a diverse customer base comprised of utilities and energy companies under long-term charters. Energos owns and operates 13 LNG infrastructure vessels, consisting of 9 Floating Storage and Regasification Units, 2 Floating Storage Units, and 2 LNG carriers.

NFE currently charters six vessels from Energos and will maintain an active relationship with Energos to support NFE’s global operations through vessel charters for a period up to 20 years.
