June 10, 2026 [Reuters]- Five companies have booked around 71% of the regasification capacity ​offered at Lithuania’s Klaipeda liquefied natural ‌gas (LNG) terminal for the period 2033-2044, operator KN Energies said on Wednesday.

• KN Energies offered ​28 terawatt hours (TWh) of regasification ​capacity, divided into 4 TWh packages ⁠per year and options for eight ​or 12 consecutive years.
• It allocated 20 TWh, ​with 8 TWh until 2044 inclusive and a further 12 TWh until 2040.
• Capacity was booked ​by five customers: Lithuania’s Ignitis, ​Latvia’s Latvenergo, Norway’s Equinor, as well as new ‌terminal ⁠customers Gasum of Finland and Ukraine’s Naftogaz.
• “This is a clear signal of trust in Lithuania’s energy infrastructure and of ​the terminal’s ​expanding ⁠role from the Baltic region to Northern Europe and Ukraine,” ​said Minister of Energy Zygimantas ​Vaiciunas.
• Unallocated ⁠capacities may be offered through repeated long-term capacity booking and annual capacity allocation ⁠procedures ​for each year separately.
• One ​conventional-size LNG cargo corresponds to approximately 1 TWh
