Poland’s PGNiG has signed up for a further 1.5 million tonnes per annum of liquefied natural gas from Venture Global’s planned Plaquemines LNG facility in the US.

The 20-year offtake agreement adds to an earlier deal between the parties for 1 million tpa of LNG from the Louisiana facility south of New Orleans on the Mississippi River.

Venture Global is set to sanction the development this year, with start-up in 2023.
