"Venture Global is proud to expand our existing partnership with PGNiG to
provide a clean and reliable supply of American LNG to Poland. Since 2018, our
two companies have significantly increased our cooperation, nearly tripling the
volume of LNG Venture Global will export to PGNiG. Poland will lower its carbon
footprint and diversify its energy mix by incorporating more American natural
gas into its portfolio. Pivoting towards cleaner natural gas from the United
States will not only increase Poland's energy security but also decrease its
carbon emissions, and Venture Global looks forward to supporting our partner
PGNiG in these efforts for years to come," commented Mike Sabel, Chief
Executive Officer of Venture Global LNG.
"The import of LNG allows PGNiG to diversify sources and routes of supply of
natural gas. This way we can provide Polish customers with energy security --
constant and uninterrupted gas deliveries. This is particularly important
considering that natural gas will be a bridge fuel in the process of energy
transition of the Polish economy. At the same time, access to American LNG
gives us opportunity to develop trade of this fuel on the global market -- for
this purpose we will charter LNG carriers to transport liquefied natural gas.
In this respect, we value cooperation with Venture Global LNG, as it brings us
the possibility of achieving our strategic goals," commented Pawel Majewski,
the President of the PGNiG Management Board.
Today's announcement amends the existing Sales and Purchase Agreements signed
by the companies in 2018, increasing the volume of LNG purchased from Calcasieu
Pass LNG to 1.5 MTPA and the volume from Plaquemines LNG to 4 MTPA. This brings
the total volume of LNG PGNiG has committed to purchase from Venture Global
facilities to 5.5 MTPA, for 20 years on a free-on-board basis (FOB).
