Conclusion of an LNG Sale and Purchase AgreementTokyo Gas Co., Ltd. Shizuoka Gas Co., Ltd.
Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. (President: Shinichi Sasayama, "Tokyo Gas") and Shizuoka Gas Co., Ltd. (President: Yoshitake Matsumoto, " Shizuoka Gas " ) have entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the "Agreement") of liquefied natural gas ("LNG"). Under the Agreement, Tokyo Gas will deliver 5 cargoes of LNG per year to Shizuoka Gas from 2027.
The Agreement marks the first long-term LNG sale and purchase between Tokyo Gas and Shizuoka Gas. Upon the commencement of the Agreement, Tokyo Gas will become one of the main LNG suppliers of Shizuoka Gas.
In recent years, amid increased volatility in the energy market due to the heightened geopolitical risks, the importance of diversifying LNG supply chains has grown. This Agreement will contribute to such diversification by expanding LNG flows between utilities and, in doing so, help strengthen energy security.
