Cheniere and Galp sign long-term LNG SPA

Under the SPA, Galp has agreed to purchase approximately 0.5 million tpy of LNG for 20 years from Cheniere Marketing on a free-on-board basis for a purchase price indexed to the Henry Hub price, plus a fixed liquefaction fee. Deliveries are expected to commence in the early 2030s and are subject to, among other things, a positive Final Investment Decision(FID) with respect to the second train (Train Eight) of the Sabine Pass Liquefaction Expansion Project (SPL Expansion Project). The SPA includes a limited number of early cargoes to be purchased by Galp prior to the start of Train Eight.

“We are pleased to enter into this long-term agreement with Galp, a leader across Iberia’s energy sector, which reinforces the critical role US natural gas is expected to play in Europe’s energy mix into the second half of this century,” said Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s President and CEO. “We look forward to providing our flexible, reliable and cleaner burning LNG to Galp under this new long-term agreement. This SPA is expected to provide further support for the SPL Expansion Project, and demonstrates continued momentum as we progress development of the project.”
