QatarEnergy Extends Force Majeure in Italy with Additional LNG Cargoes

QatarEnergy has informed Edison that it will not be able to deliver an additional three LNG cargoes scheduled for Italy's Adriatic LNG receiving terminal. This marks the extension of a force majeure event, which prevents QatarEnergy from fulfilling its contractual obligations for gas deliveries in Italy.

The total number of LNG cargoes subject to force majeure has now reached 24, representing a volume of approximately 3 billion cubic meters of natural gas. The overall force majeure period will be extended from the beginning of April to the end of September 2026.

Edison, an Italian energy company with over 140 years of history, confirms its ability to source alternative gas for all its customers and fulfill commercial commitments. As of July 28, Edison has already replaced 17 LNG cargoes at the Adriatic terminal, totaling approximately 1.6 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
