Canada Locks in Long-Term LNG Deal with Germany

Canada is expanding its global energy exports by signing a binding agreement with Germany's Uniper SE to supply two million tonnes per annum of Canadian LNG for up to 20 years. This deal, signed on behalf of the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, will see first deliveries begin in 2032.

The agreement follows a landmark letter of interest reached in May 2026 between Ksi Lisims LNG and Germany's SEFE for a potential 20-year supply of one million tonnes per year. The deal marks an important step for the Nisga'a Nation, which will see significant economic activity and thousands of jobs created in British Columbia.

Ksi Lisims LNG is a $30-billion project that will be Canada's second-largest LNG facility, representing 13 percent of Canada's total natural gas exports by the early-to-mid 2030s. The project is expected to contribute $15 billion to Canada's GDP and demonstrate how sustainable resource development can advance reconciliation.

Minister Tim Hodgson stated that this agreement 'represents more than an energy partnership. It is a powerful example of how, by working with allies like Germany, Canada can strengthen its economy and sovereignty and support global energy security.'
