July 10 (Reuters) - Puerto Rico's finance regulator has
halted New Fortress Energy's ( NFE ) $20 billion natural gas
supply deal over monopoly concerns, Bloomberg News reported on
Thursday, citing a letter to the island's energy czar, Josue
Colon.
Shares of the company were down 7.6% in afternoon trading.
The Financial Oversight and Management Board said it has
"profound concerns" about a proposed 15-year contract between
New Fortress' subsidary Genera PR and the company's unit that
delivers liquefied gas, the report said.
New Fortress Energy ( NFE ) did not immediately respond to a Reuters
request for comment.
