What is a Floating LNG Terminal?
• A floating LNG terminal has the onboard capability of transporting, storing and converting LNG back into natural gas, a process known as “regasification.”
• The cost of constructing and operating our floating terminals is approximately one-half to two-thirds the cost of building and operating a similarly sized land-based facility.

Market Evolution to a Solution-Based Approach
Important floating regasification project facts: • Markets need a natural gas solution, not just a ship • The regasification vessel is only part of the equation • Regasification service providers must be well versed in all aspects of a project

Critical Areas of Expertise for a Floating Regasification Project
Vessel Operations and Logistics
Ship-to-Ship Cargo Transfer
Fixed Infrastructure Design, Development,
and EPC
Integration and Operation
All aspects must be clearly understood and managed to ensure that reliability, efficiency, and – above all – safety are maintained at a floating regasification project
A project is only as good as its weakest link

Excelerate’s Approach to Project Development
• Every project, complex or simple, is important to the customer, regardless of our defined role – Critical to bring that perspective and experience to the customer – As important as it is to know how all the pieces fit together, it is equally
important to be able to put them together to the benefit of the customer – A project is deemed a success when the whole project works, not just
parts of it • It’s not necessary to do everything on every deal (logistics, operations, EPC,
etc.) but it is important the customer knows we could if they needed us • Excelerate’s focus is straightforward:
– Act as a partner not a service provider – Develop solutions and consistently strive for performance enhancements – Be flexible on deal structures – meet customer needs
• In the end, no two projects are the same

Aguirre Offshore GasPort Project Overview
• Key project information – Location is approximately four miles offshore the southern coast of Puerto Rico,
near the towns of Central Aguirre, Salinas and Guayama – Project will utilize one of Excelerate Energy’s 150,900 m3 Energy Bridge FSRUs in
an across-the-dock arrangement with an offshore sea island – Facility will operate year-round, delivering natural gas to PREPA’s Aguirre Power
Plant as its primary fuel source
• AOGP is a sound project, designed to bring substantial economic and environmental benefits to Puerto Rico – Provides growth for Puerto Rico, with regasification throughput rates of up to 500
million cubic feet per day – Reduces the use of heavy fuel oil and diesel at the Aguirre Power Plant, resulting
in cleaner emissions – Construction of the Aguirre Offshore GasPort will be Excelerate Energy’s seventh
floating LNG import facility – expected in-service date of mid-2014

Why the Aguirre Power Plant?
• The goal is to provide natural gas to the Central Aguirre Power Plant – This is a step forward in the island’s strategy to convert power generation
from oil to cleaner-burning natural gas.
• Most cost savings with Aguirre Power Plant – Aguirre Plant is the largest power plant on the island with a total of production
capacity of approximately 1,500 MW. – Because of it’s size, Aguirre has the highest fuel costs of all of
PREPA’s facilities.
• Environmental benefits – Large reduction in air emissions at this large facility – Reduction in fuel barges transiting the Jobos Bay Reserve

Permitting Process
• Lead Federal Agency is FERC – Certification under the Natural Gas Act – Project subject to a full NEPA Review – Require an Environmental Impact Statement – FERC requires the contracting of a third-party EIS contractor to assist
them, at the applicant’s cost – FERC requires a NEPA pre-filing consultation with its Staff at least 6-
months prior to formal filing. – Estimated Review Process Timeline – 18 mos. to 2 years from date of pre-
filing

Permitting Process
• Public Scoping Meetings – Excelerate has conducted three public information meetings in the
project area since making its pre-filing with FERC – FERC has conducted two public scoping meetings in the area – Comments from the public will be considered in the EIS
• Baseline Studies – Geophysical surveys (magnetometer, Side-Scan-Sonar, sub-bottom
profiler, bathymetry) – Sediment sampling and surveys (geotechnical, sediment chemistry) – Benthic sampling and surveys
