08:37 AM EDT, 08/28/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Edison (EDNR.MI) will not receive supplies of liquefied natural gas from QatarEnergy until at least early November, Reuters reported Friday, citing a post by the Italian electric utility company on Italy's GME platform for the gas market. The Italian utility received word from Qatar on Thursday that QatarEnergy has extended its force majeure on LNG deliveries, sources told Reuters. The extension means QatarEnergy will be unable to deliver five cargoes scheduled between late September and early November, Edison reportedly said on the GME platform. Edison and QatarEnergy did not immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
