Exhibit 99.1

FTAI Infrastructure Inc. Provides Update on Long Ridge Energy Terminal –
Extended Maintenance Outage in Q4 2022; Returned to Fully Operational Status
 
January 24, 2023 at 4:15 PM EST
 
NEW YORK, January 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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.
 
About FTAI Infrastructure Inc.

FTAI Infrastructure is externally managed by an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC, a leading, diversified global investment firm.
