This volume will <strong>strengthen the stability of the Puerto Rican electricity grid<\/strong> and ensure a more predictable energy source in the face of the volatility of oil and other more polluting sources. <\/p>\n\n<p>With this measure, Puerto Rico is committed to cleaner <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/articulo\/operational-efficiency-renewable-energies\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/articulo\/eficiencia-operativa-de-energias-renovables\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cleaner and more efficient<\/a><\/strong> and efficient electricity generation. The natural gas supplied by NFE will be low-emission, which will contribute to reducing the environmental impact of the local energy system. In addition, the continuity of supply ensures vital support in times of high demand or emergency.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NFE deepens its presence on the island<\/h2>\n\n<p>The company, which already operates energy infrastructure in Puerto Rico, thus strengthens its strategic link with local authorities. According to Wes Edens, CEO of <g id=\"gid_0\"><g id=\"gid_1\">NFE<\/g><\/g>this contract reinforces the company&#8217;s commitment to offer <g id=\"gid_2\"><g id=\"gid_3\">reliable energy solutions<\/g><\/g> solutions that support sustainable development in the region. Governor Jenniffer Gonz\u00e1lez-Col\u00f3n was instrumental in the consolidation of the agreement.  <\/p>\n\n<p>A steady supply of natural gas not only improves the quality of electric service, but also acts as an economic catalyst. A stable, modern grid is essential to attract investment, foster industrial growth and improve the quality of life for citizens. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newfortressenergy.com\/stories\/new-fortress-energy-receives-approval-milestone-agreement-long-term-gas-supply-puerto-rican\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.newfortressenergy.com\/stories\/new-fortress-energy-receives-approval-milestone-agreement-long-term-gas-supply-puerto-rican\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Fortress Energy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Photo: Shutterstock<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The contract secures 75 billion BTU of natural gas for Puerto Rico for 7 years, with direct impact on the island&#8217;s electrical and environmental stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9014,"featured_media":321089,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13026,13044],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-321270","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-energy","categoria_noticias-new-energies"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/321270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9014"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=321270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/321270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321089"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=321270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=321270"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=321270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
