Edison: QatarEnergy extends force majeure until the end of December
Milan, September 28, 2026 – Edison announces that it has received a further notice from QatarEnergy indicating the continuation of the force majeure event which prevents the seller from fulfilling its contractual obligations for gas deliveries in Italy. QatarEnergy has informed Edison that it will not be able to deliver an additional 3 LNG cargoes scheduled for the Adriatic LNG receiving terminal in Italy. This will effectively extend the overall force majeure period from beginning of April to the end of December 2026.
As a result, a total of 38 LNG cargoes is now subject to force majeure over this period, representing a total volume of approximately 5 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
As at 27 October 2026, Edison reports that it has replaced 27 LNG cargos, corresponding to approximately 2.7 billion cubic meters of natural gas. The Group confirms its ability to source alternative gas for all its customers and to fully honor its past and future commercial commitments.
Edison holds a long-term contract with QatarEnergy for the supply of 6.4 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year to Italy. The contract, which has been in force since 2009, has a total duration of 25 years.
