Edison announces that it has received notification from QatarEnergy regarding the occurrence of a Force Majeure event. Due to hostility in the area, QatarEnergy has informed Edison that it will not be able to fulfil its contractual obligations concerning some LNG cargo deliveries scheduled to arrive at the receiving terminal early April 2026. Five LNG cargoes are expected to be affected at this time. LNG deliveries scheduled for March 2026 are not impacted by this notification.

Edison also specifies that it does not foresee any impact on the supply of its clients, thanks to mitigation measures and portfolio management action already underway.

Edison continues to monitor the situation with the utmost attention and will provide timely updates should any further relevant information become available.

Edison has a long-term contract with QatarEnergy for the supply of 6.4 billion cubic meters of gas per year to Italy. The contract, which began in 2009, has a total duration of 25 years.
