Israel's Competition Authority Approves Major Gas Deal After Initial Cancellation

Israel's Competition Authority Approves Major Gas Deal After Initial Cancellation

Israel's Competition Authority has approved a major gas supply deal between the Leviathan field partners and Dalia Energy, reversing an earlier cancellation. The authority found the long-term contract and "take or pay" clause necessary for new power stations, though it blocked a restriction on Dalia selling surplus gas. The deal, set to begin in 2030, will supply 1.3 to 1.7 BCM of gas annually for 20 years to two new power plants. The ruling complicates the reasons cited by the Leviathan partners for canceling the agreement.
