HOUSTON, NEW YORK & SINGAPORE, Jan 19 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — Commonwealth LNG, in association with Gunvor Group (“Gunvor”), announced today the launch of a formal process to solicit bids to reserve offtake from its planned 8.4 million tons per annum (MTPA) LNG facility in Cameron, Louisiana. It is the first ever tender process in which prospective LNG customers can secure future term supply at volumes, pricing and durations of their choosing through competitive bidding. LNG will be made available under tolling, free on board (FOB) or delivered at place (DAP) offtake agreements to match customer preferences. Commonwealth officials say that a different approach is warranted following changes in the energy market resulting from the global pandemic.
Commonwealth Founder and CEO Paul Varello said the innovative approach to selling LNG benefits the project as well as potential buyers. “We believe this process offers a mutually advantageous, low-risk solution for buyers to address their long-term needs while allowing Commonwealth to advance our project expeditiously to meet market demand.”
