New Delhi: QatarEnergy notified Italian utility Edison on Monday that it will cancel five additional liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes, extending a force majeure from early July until mid-August, according to a Reuters news report.
The extension further complicates the supply chain for Edison, Europe's longest-standing energy operator, which holds a long-term contract with QatarEnergy for the supply of 6.4 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas per year to Italy. The deliveries have faced consistent disruptions since April due to conflicts linked to the Iran war.
