Celebrating LNG Milestone: Sawgrass LNG & Power's Impact on The Bahamas

This December, Sawgrass LNG & Power commemorated a remarkable anniversary - eight years of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to The Bahamas. This noteworthy milestone underscores the significant partnership in energy cooperation between the United States and The Bahamas, which has been flourishing since the inaugural LNG shipment on December 13, 2017.

The deliveries have not just been numerous; they have also been vital, involving thousands of safe and efficient supplies to industrial users and power generators spanning various islands in the Bahamas. These operations have been executed through Sawgrass's wholly owned subsidiary, American LNG Marketing LLC, which stands as the sole supplier to have ever provided LNG from the United States to The Bahamas.

The historic journey began in 2016 when American LNG Marketing made waves by exporting LNG from the continental U.S. to a non-Free Trade Agreement country, paving the way with deliveries to Barbados, marking a renaissance in American energy engagement in the Caribbean region. This groundbreaking achievement opened the doors for the first LNG shipment to The Bahamas just a year later - a significant step reflecting the advancing trajectory of energy trade in the region.

Daniel McLaughlin, President and Chief Commercial Officer at Sawgrass LNG & Power, expressed pride in this enduring partnership with the Bahamian government and customers, commending their collective commitment to energy reliability, cleaner fuel options, and regional resilience. He emphasized, "This partnership demonstrates the crucial role U.S. natural gas plays in supporting our Caribbean neighbors."

The transition to LNG has characterized a significant shift away from traditional liquid fuels, promoting reduction in emissions, enhanced efficiency, and bolstered energy security within one of the most logistically challenging island environments in the world. As outlined by McLaughlin, the collaboration serves as a model focused on delivering clean, reliable, and modern energy solutions.

In light of the region prioritizing cleaner power generation and securing reliable supply chains, Sawgrass LNG & Power reiterates its commitment to advance the use of American-produced LNG, aligning with the evolving needs of The Bahamas. They are excited to deepen their relationship with the Bahamian government, particularly as it explores additional LNG-fueled power generation strategies, which plays a pivotal role in building a more resilient and lower-emissions energy future.

The promise of continued collaboration and expansion of energy solutions heralds a new era for Sawgrass LNG & Power as they look to enhance modern energy infrastructure throughout the Caribbean. Their ongoing efforts serve not just to meet the increasing energy demands, but also to ensure that the region embraces cleaner and more sustainable energy practices moving forward.
