Three companies will be shortlisted in the coming weeks for the award of new long-term contracts for LNG imports according to the country’s energy minister, Abdelkader Amara. The government is currently evaluating offers from a number of international firms, as it plans to import two million tons of LNG per year starting in 2020.
“In the first phase it will be 2 million tons, and the second step will be from 3.5 to 4 million tons,” Amara told reporters in Dubai.
“Yes Shell made an offer and there are also (companies) from France, from Britain, from Spain and the U.S…. in two weeks we will evaluate the offers and take a decision. It is likely we will have three suppliers,” he said.
The evaluation of offers is part of Morocco’s international tender seeking advisers for its LNG import plan, worth up to $4.6 billion and including the import of up to 7 Bcm of gas by 2025, the construction of a jetty, terminal, pipelines, and gas-fired power plants.
