Political analyst Jay Fonseca questioned, on the program Los Datos Son Los Datos, why Puerto Rico’s Senate has not yet voted on a measure that would start a process to cancel the natural gas supply contract with New Fortress Energy (NFEnergía) and end the company’s exclusive use of the docks in San Juan Bay. The measure, a resolution, was already approved unanimously by Puerto Rico’s House of Representatives, given the high cost of electricity on the island.
It seeks to begin the process of replacing the agreement and removing the exclusivity of the docks. The company claimed it could not meet its natural gas supply obligations because of a force majeure situation, after one of its plants in Mexico suffered damage.
