Netherlands plans to end Russian LNG imports, minister says
The Dutch government is working on ending all liquefied natural gas imports from Russia, according to Energy Minister Rob Jetten.
The Netherlands stopped signing new contracts for LNG imports from Russia this year — without announcing the decision — and it’s working on winding down pre-existing contracts, he said in an interview at his office in The Hague.
“We have to do what we can do to make sure there is no Russian fossil energy in our system, and we have been successful on coal, pipeline gas and oil,” Jetten said. “We are having a lot of conversations with the companies using the facilities” to phase out pre-existing LNG deals, he added.
