Venture Global and ATLANTIC-SEE LNG Expand Contract to 1 Million Tonnes
The company states: "Venture Globa and ATLANTIC - SEE LNG TRADE S.A. of Greece announced an expansion of their existing Sales and Purchase Agreement for the purchase of U.S. liquefied natural gas from Venture Global for twenty years starting in 2030. Under the deal, Atlantic-SEE is doubling their existing contract with Venture Global from a minimum of 0.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 1.0 million tonnes per annum. Atlantic-SEE LNG is a newly formed joint venture announced in November at the 6th Partnership for Transatlantic Energy Cooperation conference hosted in Athens, Greece between Greek companies AKTOR Group and DEPA Commercial. The announcement of this expanded supply agreement follows Venture Global's previously announced investment in regasification capacity at the Alexandroupolis LNG import terminal in Greece, which currently accounts for approximately 25% of the terminal's total capacity. The Alexandroupolis LNG FSRU receiving terminal and South-North 'Vertical Corridor' will be essential to enhancing Central and Eastern European energy security by providing a new route to bring affordable and reliable U.S. natural gas into the region."
