Celebrating Ten Years of Sawgrass LNG & Power: A Trailblazer in U.S. LNG Exports

Last month marked a significant moment in the energy landscape as Sawgrass LNG & Power celebrated its tenth anniversary. The company made history by executing the first-ever LNG export from the continental United States, sending its inaugural shipment to Barbados on February 2, 2016. This pivotal achievement not only transformed the company but also initiated a new chapter for the LNG industry in the U.S.

Over the past decade, Sawgrass has established itself as a dependable supplier of liquefied natural gas, especially catering to markets in the southeastern U.S. and across the Caribbean. The company has built an impressive portfolio, providing reliable LNG solutions to a variety of clients ranging from transportation and industrial sectors to resorts and utility companies looking to transition away from diesel and heavy fuel oil.

The strategic focus of Sawgrass on operational safety and reliability has proven beneficial, helping clients lower energy costs, reduce emissions, and enhance system resilience in regions facing energy supply challenges. Daniel McLaughlin, the President and Chief Commercial Officer, stated, “We take pride in our place in U.S. LNG history and the extraordinary growth of the industry over the past decade. We are especially proud to have been the first to deliver LNG to Barbados, the Bahamas, and Haiti.”

Looking ahead, Sawgrass LNG & Power seeks to continue expanding to meet the increasing demand for alternatives to traditional liquid fuels in Florida and Caribbean markets. The company's significant expertise in operating in remote markets positions it as a reliable partner catering to utilities, industrial operations, commercial customers, and transportation providers.

As Sawgrass steps into its second decade, it remains committed to the core principles that have driven its success: safe operations, reliable service, and strong partnerships with customers and communities. “We hope to continue supporting our clients with energy solutions for the next ten years,” McLaughlin added.

Headquartered in Miami, Florida, Sawgrass LNG & Power operates a state-of-the-art LNG facility and offers comprehensive turnkey LNG supply, logistics, and gas-to-energy solutions for utilities, industrial users, and commercial operators. As a leading provider in this dynamic market, it continues to pave the way for future developments in the LNG sector, contributing positively to energy innovation and sustainability.

This milestone not only reflects the growth of Sawgrass but also the evolving landscape of the LNG industry in the United States, marking a decade of innovation and commitment to excellence in energy supply.
