Report summary
On 13 January 2021, New Fortress Energy announced it will acquire Hygo Energy Transition (formerly Golar Power) and Golar LNG Partners for ~US$5.1 billion. The deal has many compelling synergies. The two companies share a vision and a blueprint for growth in LNG-to-power and small-scale LNG value chains. For NFE the deal provides a step-up in terms of its global reach, assets and capabilities. Hygo offers a rich seam of development opportunities in Brazil.

The LNG ships offer improved operational efficiency and flexibility.
