Through this transaction, JERAGM provided Hokkaido Electric Power with the flexibility to change the delivered volumes of LNG at short notice from a full cargo to a partial cargo, together with other bespoke terms and conditions that support the balancing of Hokkaido Electric Power’s LNG consumption.

JERA and JERAGM believe that increased flexibility from LNG sellers is an important part of managing fluctuations in LNG supply and demand within the Japanese energy markets, and together they are committed to supporting this change for their own portfolios, and the portfolios of their customers.
