In August, Cheniere entered into a long-term sale and purchase (SPA) agreement with JERA Co., Inc. (JERA), Japan’s largest power-generation company and one of the world’s largest buyers of LNG.
Under the terms of the SPA, JERA agreed to purchase approximately 1 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG from 2029 through 2050.
“We are pleased to enter into this multi-decade agreement with JERA, the largest power producer in Japan and one of the largest buyers of LNG in the world,” said Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “This SPA fortifies our longstanding relationship with JERA, which is based upon years of cooperation and mutually beneficial LNG trade. We look forward to providing our flexible, reliable and cleaner-burning LNG to JERA through 2050 under this new long-term agreement.”
The agreement formalized the Heads of Agreement (HOA) the two companies announced in June 2025 at the U.S. Department of Energy.
