Abu Dhabi’s ADNOC has signed a deal to supply 600,000 tonnes per year (tpy) from the Ruwais LNG project to Germany’s EnBW, the Emirati energy player announced on Monday.
The 15-year sales and purchase agreement will see deliveries commence in 2028 following the start of commercial operations at the newbuild LNG plant.
With the deal, EnBW becomes the project’s second German offtaker, following November’s agreement between ADNOC and SEFE Marketing and Trading Singapore for the 15-year supply of 1 million tpy.
ADNOC reached an FID on the Ruwais LNG project in June and moved swiftly to award USD 5.5 billion in EPC contracts to a joint venture of Technip Energies with JCG Corporation and NMDC Energy.
Last month, the UAE energy giant broke ground on the project.
Located in Abu Dhabi’s Al Ruwais Industrial City, the project will consist of two 4.8-million-tpy liquefaction trains which will more than double ADNOC’s existing LNG production capacity once operational. The plant will use electric-driven motors instead of conventional gas turbines and will be powered by clean energy.
Starting in 2028, the facility will be majority-owned by ADNOC Gas.
