Centrica, in partnership with Delfin Midstream Inc., has announced a significant long-term agreement to purchase 1.0 million tonnes per annum of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) for a period of 15 years.

China’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) importers will stay out of the spot market this winter as demand growth has skidded to the slowest since 2002, meaning the world’s top importer of the fuel will likely avoid competing with crisis-hit Europe for supplies.
