The Newport Beach company will design and install LNG fueling systems for a pharmaceutical plant and a power plant, expanding its infrastructure business into a new market.
Alpha Score of 66 reflects moderate overall profile with moderate momentum, moderate value, strong quality, moderate sentiment.
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. signed two contracts to design and build liquefied natural gas fueling systems in Puerto Rico, the company said Tuesday. The projects are the Newport Beach-based company's first LNG infrastructure installations on the island.
Together, the agreements cover 10 megawatts of installed power capacity. One involves an unnamed global health care products supplier that will use the LNG station equipment for a pharmaceutical manufacturing operation. The other calls for Clean Energy to build an LNG supply station for a 6 MW combined heat and power plant serving a luxury residential and hotel complex. That project is for P.R. Energy Partners, a Puerto Rico-based energy solutions distributor and infrastructure developer.
“P.R. Energy Partners is committed to providing our customers with clean, reliable power as well as contributing to a more robust and stable energy grid for our island of Puerto Rico,” Eduardo M. Cortes, the firm's managing partner, said in a statement.
The contracts mark Clean Energy's push beyond its core compressed natural gas station business into engineered LNG systems for power generation. The company said its modular LNG infrastructure can support primary and backup power for manufacturing, health care, data centers, industrial operations and areas with grid constraints.
“There are several firsts for Clean Energy with these two agreements as we expand our LNG infrastructure offering to a new customer base in Puerto Rico,” said Sean Columbia, general manager of CE Technologies at Clean Energy. “Being chosen as the trusted partners and experts in natural gas and LNG supply systems is a confirmation of our expansion into different energy services.”
Puerto Rico's electricity grid has faced chronic reliability problems, prompting many large energy users to seek alternative generation sources. LNG emits fewer pollutants than diesel or fuel oil, which have historically powered backup generators on the island. Clean Energy said the projects are intended to strengthen energy security for customers and support long-term operational stability.
The health care supplier selected natural gas and LNG for continuity at its local manufacturing operations, the company said.
