Equinor and Eneco have signed a five-year contract for the supply of natural gas to the Netherlands, with deliveries to begin on February 1 of this year.
The agreement allows an annual volume of up to 500 million cubic meters to be supplied to the Dutch gas network.
This is gas that is produced and transported from the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS), which both companies say results in a lower greenhouse gas footprint compared to other sources available in Europe.
In addition to gas deliveries, Eneco will receive guarantees of origin through so-called ‘sustainability qualities’ that are transferred through a platform operated by Attributes SAS.
Eneco has stated that as a result of this agreement, its reported carbon dioxide emissions will decrease by more than 10%.
Equinor senior vice president gas and energy Helle Østergaard Kristiansen said: “I am very pleased that this new offer is included in the agreement with Eneco, a major energy supplier committed to sustainability.
“This is one of the first agreements we concluded on the Attributes SAS platform and an example of how the main European energy players consider Norwegian gas as a contribution to energy security and attractive also from the point of view of sustainability.”
Eneco CEO Kees Jan Rameau said: “We are pleased with this new agreement with Equinor, a long-standing supplier and partner. It marks another step towards our One Planet climate neutrality goal.
“On the path to that goal, natural gas will remain a necessary component in the energy mix for some time, so we are pleased that with this agreement we are getting the lowest emissions gas available.”
Eneco operates from Rotterdam and supplies electricity, natural gas and heat in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. The company serves more than two million homes and businesses.
In December 2025, Equinor and its partners identified oil, condensate and gas at the Tyrihans Øst prospect. The site is about 250 kilometers southwest of Brønnøysund, in the Norwegian Sea.
“Equinor and Eneco agree to five-year natural gas supply agreement for the Netherlands” was originally created and published by Offshore Technology, a brand owned by GlobalData.
