Sawgrass LNG & Power has secured a new contract to continue supplying LNG to Barbados National Energy Company, extending a partnership that began in 2016. The deal supports Barbados’ energy security and transition toward a diversified, lower-emissions energy mix.

(P&GJ) — Sawgrass LNG & Power has been awarded a new contract by Barbados National Energy Company Limited (BNECL) to continue supplying liquefied natural gas (LNG), extending a partnership that began in 2016.

The agreement ensures continued LNG deliveries to meet Barbados’ energy needs as the island pursues a diversified, lower-emissions energy mix.

“At BNECL, LNG plays a critical transitional role in our long-term vision of strategically diversifying our energy mix beyond traditional fossil fuels toward a more resilient, low-emissions energy system,” said James Browne, Officer-In-Charge of BNECL. “This partnership enables us to focus on both short-term energy stability, the incremental integration of intermittent renewable sources like solar and wind in addition to adding battery energy storage systems (BESS), for the long-term sustainability of our people, country and planet.”

Daniel McLaughlin, President and Chief Commercial Officer of Sawgrass LNG & Power, added: “From the beginning of our relationship in 2016, our shared commitment to energy security and sustainability has been at the heart of this partnership. We are excited to build on this foundation and support Barbados' energy goals and future growth.”

The deal underscores Sawgrass LNG & Power’s growing presence in the Caribbean, where the company supplies LNG to multiple sectors across the region.
