Equinor Agrees With Centrica to Deliver Additional Winter Gas Supplies to UK

By Dominic Chopping

Norwegian energy group Equinor ASA said Thursday that it has signed an agreement with British energy supplier Centrica PLC to deliver additional gas supplies to the U.K. over the next three winters.

The new supply agreement adds around 1 billion cubic meters a year to Equinor's existing, bilateral contract with Centrica and brings the total volume under the contract to more than 10 billion cubic meters a year, it said.

Equinor typically supplies 20 billion-22 billion cubic meters of natural gas to the U.K. every year, which covers more than 25% of the country's gas demand, it said.
