Ignitis Secures Long-Term LNG Supply Agreement with US Producer EQT
What happened
Ignitis signed an agreement with US natural gas producer EQT to secure a long-term supply of LNG. The deal involves Ignitis purchasing 10 LNG cargoes between 2027 and 2036, with each cargo equating to approximately 1 terawatt-hour of gas. Under the terms, Ignitis will purchase the gas using pricing linked to the US Henry Hub index for the first time.

Why it matters
The agreement is intended to reduce Ignitis's dependence on European gas exchanges. By incorporating US pricing, the deal aims to help cushion the impact of sudden price spikes in Europe on consumer bills. This move diversifies Ignitis's supply sources and manages price fluctuation risks.
