Feb 7 (LNGJ) - UK company Centrica Plc and Spanish oil and gas major Repsol have signed an agreement for Centrica to purchase 1 million tonnes of LNG shipments between 2025 and 2027. Centrica said that all of these cargoes were expected to be delivered to the UK Grain LNG import terminal in Kent. “The deal marks an additional move by Centrica to build further resilience in the UK’s energy security,” said Centrica Energy, the UK company’s trading unit.
“It follows a 15-year, $8Bln LNG deal with Delfin Midstream in July 2023, a three-year (pipelines) supply agreement with Equinor through to 2024 and the reopening and expansion of the UK’s Rough gas storage facility,” said Centrica. Cassim Mangerah, the managing director of Centrica Energy, said he was delighted to have closed this deal. “One of the key pillars of our successful and growing LNG business is our partnership approach. Our new deal with Repsol will complement the Atlantic leg of our diversified and flexible portfolio,” stated Mangerah.
