Equinor Secures Major Gas Supply Deal with UK to Bolster Energy Security

Equinor ASA, a Norwegian energy giant, has strengthened its partnership with the UK through a landmark gas sales agreement with Centrica, a leading UK energy company. Under this agreement, Equinor will supply gas from the Norwegian continental shelf to the UK, covering nearly 10% of the UK's annual gas demand. This move is pivotal for enhancing the UK's energy security and further aligns with Equinor's long-term goal of supporting decarbonization efforts. Equinor, together with Centrica, emphasizes the role of natural gas as a transitional energy source toward a low-carbon future. Equinor already has significant investments in UK renewable energy, including offshore wind farms and carbon capture projects, reflecting its commitment to both energy security and sustainable practices. The deal is also expected to stimulate the development of the UK's hydrogen market, ensuring a robust energy future.
