Centrica Energy and Tourmaline have agreed to expand their existing long-term natural gas purchase agreement, adding 30,000 MMBtu of natural gas per day from 2031 for a seven-year period.
The additional tranche builds on the long-term agreement announced in November 2025, under which Tourmaline, Canada's largest natural gas producer, agreed to supply Centrica Energy with 50,000 MMBtu of natural gas per day from 2028 over a ten-year period.
Under the expanded agreement, Tourmaline will supply an additional 30,000 MMBtu of natural gas per day from 2031 through 2038. The new volumes are equivalent to approximately three LNG cargoes per year and, consistent with the existing agreement, will also be indexed to the Title Transfer Facility (TTF), the European gas hub benchmark.
The agreement supports Centrica Energy's strategy of building a diversified and resilient LNG portfolio while managing future market price risk through long-term supply arrangements linked to key global gas benchmarks.
Centrica Energy's LNG trading teams in London, Madrid and Singapore provide round-the-clock access to global LNG and gas markets, connecting supply sources with customer demand across multiple regions.
