Cheniere Secures 25-Year LNG Supply Deal with Taiwan’s CPC

Event summary

  • Cheniere’s subsidiary signed a 25-year LNG SPA with CPC for 1.2 mtpa, starting 2026.
  • Pricing indexed to Henry Hub plus fixed fee; adds to existing 2 mtpa deal with CPC.
  • Total LNG supply to CPC now reaches 3.2 mtpa through 2050.
  • Cheniere highlights deal’s role in supporting brownfield liquefaction expansions.

The big picture

This deal extends Cheniere’s dominance in U.S. LNG exports while locking in demand from a repeat Asian customer. The 25-year horizon underscores Taiwan’s long-term energy security needs and Cheniere’s strategy of anchoring supply agreements to its Gulf Coast infrastructure. At 3.2 mtpa, CPC becomes one of Cheniere’s largest single customers, validating its full-service LNG platform model.
