GDF SUEZ TAPS INTO NEW NORTH AMERICAN NATURAL GAS SUPPLY SOURCE FOR NEW ENGLAND

摘要

GDF SUEZ Gas NA has announced it has entered into a purchase agreement with Gaz Metro LNG, L.P. of Montreal that will make available up to 1.0 billion cubic feet of additional liquefied natural gas to meet the peak 2014-2015 winter demand in New England. "This second annual arrangement with Gaz Metro represents an important step in the further diversification of our supply portfolio, as well as an opportunity for us to take advantage of gas purchases on this continent to increase our supply assets, and to continue to ensure reliability to New England when resources can be tight-the winter heating season," said Frank Katulak, president and CEO of GSGNA. "Additional and reliable supplies such as these will also allow us to cost effectively provide more services to the marketplace by optimizing existing natural gas infrastructure in the region."
