Affected by high temperatures, Egypt purchases August LNG cargoes to meet demand

According to informed sources, surging temperatures in Egypt and peak summer electricity demand have prompted the nation’s energy companies to purchase spot deliveries of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The national energy company, Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC), has secured August delivery cargos from previous tenders and additionally procured several shipments from existing suppliers. Egypt was previously an LNG exporter, but as domestic production has declined and consumption has surpassed supply, the country is increasingly reliant on the global LNG market. Meanwhile, conflict involving Iran has constrained transport through the Strait of Hormuz, tightening the supply of available cargos in the market and further intensifying Egypt’s procurement pressure.
