How many LNG cargoes has QatarEnergy canceled for Edison, and what is the reason given for the suspension?

QatarEnergy has canceled a total of 29 LNG cargoes for Edison since suspending deliveries in April 2024, with five additional cargoes—scheduled for delivery between late September and early November—now also canceled. The suspension is attributed to disruptions caused by the U.S.-Iran conflict, under a force majeure clause.

What is the scale and duration of Edison's long-term LNG supply contract with QatarEnergy?

Edison holds a 25-year long-term contract with QatarEnergy, signed in 2009, for the annual supply of 6.4 billion cubic meters of natural gas—approximately 10% of Italy’s total gas consumption.
