THE WOODLANDS, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Excelerate Energy, Inc. (the "Company" or "Excelerate") (NYSE: EE) announced today the extension of its Time Charter Agreement with Dubai Supply Authority ("DUSUP") for the FSRU Explorer.

Under the terms of the new agreement, the time charter period will be extended by an additional five years from the end of the existing contract in the fourth quarter of 2025.
"Reaching an agreement on the extension of our time charter agreement with DUSUP highlights our ongoing efforts to develop and grow our existing, diversified regasification business," said Daniel Bustos, Chief Commercial Officer of Excelerate.
