ONE year after it shelled out just over US$1 billion to acquire New Fortress Energy assets in Jamaica, in the process becoming the country’s supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG), Excelerate Energy remains gung-ho on the island and is ready to invest even more.

In an exclusive interview with the Jamaica Observer to mark the first anniversary of its presence in the island, president and chief executive officer of Excelerate Energy Steven Kobos announced the international firm’s determination to establish an even bigger footprint here.

“We do want to invest more. We do want to deploy more capital in Jamaica,” declared Kobos.
