Qatar’s Minister of State for Energy Affairs and President and CEO of QatarEnergy Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi said: “This is a new long-term partnership between KPC and QatarEnergy that constitutes a central element in supporting Kuwait’s sustainability goals, particularly in the electricity generation sector. It also reflects our commitment to support the future needs of all our clients, foremost of which is KPC.”

The agreement was signed at KPC’s Head Office in Kuwait by Sheikh Nawaf and Kaabi in a ceremony attended by senior executives from both companies. The agreement is set to be effective for 15 years, with deliveries to Al-Zour Refinery’s LNG import terminal beginning in 2025. Under this agreement, up to three million metric tons of LNG will be supplied. This initiative aligns with KPC’s 2040 strategy, emphasizing sustainability by adopting LNG as a cleaner energy source. The use of LNG is expected to significantly reduce emissions and enhance domestic air quality, contributing to a more sustainable energy future for the region.
