Pioneering LNG infrastructure in emerging markets like the Caribbean and Latin America through rapid-deployment Fast LNG units and long-term supply contracts despite mounting debt challenges.
Wes Edens launched New Fortress Energy in 2014 to tap surging LNG needs across the Caribbean and Latin America, spearheading Fast LNG deployments off Mexico's Altamira coast and injecting over $500 million into Jamaica's energy grid. Operating from Miami, he links his ventures to South Florida via Fortress Investment Group's MiamiCentral hub and Brightline's high-speed rail push to Orlando. Amid revenue dips and debt woes—including a missed $30.6 million interest payment—NFE offloaded its Jamaican operations for $1.055 billion, stretched maturities to January 2026, and eyes Brazil and Nicaragua for turnaround momentum.
