Cheniere strikes 20 year LNG deal with Portugal's Galp Energia
Aug 5 (Reuters) -Cheniere Energy LNG.N said on Monday it has agreed to supply 0.5 million tonnes per annum of liquefied natural gas to a subsidiary of Galp Energia GALP.LS for 20 years.
Deliveries are expected to begin in the early 2030s, but are dependent on the approval for an additional liquefaction unit (Train Eight)for Cheniere's Sabine Pass Liquefaction Expansion Project.
As part of the deal, Galp will also buy some LNG cargoes from Cheniere before train eight starts.
CONTEXT
Sabine Pass currently operates six liquefaction trains, each with a production capacity of approximately 5 mtpa of LNG. An expansion project is underway to add up to 20 mtpa of additional capacity.
In February, Sabine Pass filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for authorization to site, construct and operate the Sabine Pass Stage 5 Expansion Project.
Last year, Cheniere Energy said it would supply 0.8 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Germany's BASF BASFn.DE, starting mid-2026.
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT
In 2023, the United States emerged as the global leader in liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, surpassing previous frontrunners Australia and Qatar. This shift was driven by increased global demand and higher prices, partly due to supply disruptions and sanctions related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
During an earnings call in May, Cheniere's vice president noted that they anticipated rising LNG demand in Asia as prices decreased, while high storage levels in Europe resulted in a 13% drop in demand on the continent.
KEY QUOTES
"This SPA is expected to provide further support for the SPL Expansion Project, and demonstrates continued momentum as we progress development of the project," said Cheniere CEO Jack Fusco.
