Nutrien Ltd. (TSX and NYSE: NTR) announced today that it has commenced a controlled shut down of its Trinidad Nitrogen operations at the Point Lisas' facility to be effective October 23, 2025.
This shutdown is in response to port access restrictions imposed by Trinidad and Tobago's National Energy Corporation (NEC) and a lack of reliable and economic natural gas supply that has reduced the free cash flow contribution of the Trinidad Nitrogen operations over an extended period of time. Nutrien will continue to engage with stakeholders and assess options with respect to its operations in Trinidad.
Ammonia and urea sales volumes from Nutrien's Trinidad operations are approximately 85 and 55 thousand tonnes per month, respectively. Nutrien expects to be within its 2025 annual nitrogen sales volume guidance range of 10.7 to 11.2 million tonnes due to the continued strong performance of its North American Nitrogen operations.
