QatarEnergy extends force majeure until mid-June 2026
Milan, March 27, 2026 - Edison announces that it has received from QatarEnergy a new notification of force majeure affecting LNG supplies scheduled for delivery at the Adriatic LNG terminal. Due to the ongoing hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz, QatarEnergy has informed Edison that it will be unable to fulfil its contractual obligations for a total of 10 LNG cargoes from April until around mid-June 2026.
Edison reports that LNG deliveries scheduled for March 2026 are proceeding regularly. The final cargo is expected to be delivered on Monday, 30 March. From the beginning of 2026 until the interruption due to force majeure expected in April, approximately 1.6 billion cubic meters of natural gas had been delivered.
The Group confirms, as previously announced, that it does not expect any impact on its end customers, thanks to the mitigation actions undertaken and the portfolio management activities currently in place.
Edison continues to closely monitor the situation and will promptly provide updates should any further relevant information become available.
Edison has a long-term contract with QatarEnergy for the supply of 6.4 billion cubic meters of gas per year to Italy. The contract, which began in 2009, has a total duration of 25 years.
