FTAI Infrastructure Inc. Provides Update on Long Ridge Energy Terminal – Extended Maintenance Outage in Q4 2022; Returned to Fully Operational Status
January 24 2023 - 4:15PM
FTAI Infrastructure Inc. (NASDAQ:FIP) (the “Company” or “FTAI
Infrastructure”) reported its 50.1%-owned Long Ridge Energy
Terminal and power plant (“Long Ridge”) in Hannibal, Ohio returned
to fully-operational status at the end of the fourth quarter of
2022 after an extended outage for maintenance and repair of its gas
turbine.
During a planned maintenance outage in the fourth quarter, Long
Ridge discovered damage to its gas turbine, resulting in an
extended outage period in order to repair the damage. The damage
was caused by construction debris left in the gas turbine’s air
intake prior to the commissioning of the plant. All repairs were
made, and the power plant returned to full operating status by the
end of the quarter. Long Ridge expects all repair costs to be
covered under warranty.
Notwithstanding the natural gas that Long Ridge sold into the
market, primarily as a result of the extended outage and related
revenue interruption, Long Ridge expects to report an operating
loss for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022. "We believe
the required repair work, while unfortunate, was a one-time event
and will not affect Long Ridge’s revenue and profitability going
forward. We are enthusiastic about Long Ridge’s prospects for
long-term cash flow and upside potential through incremental gas
production and on-site developments,” said Ken Nicholson, Chief
Executive Officer of FTAI Infrastructure.
