 Italy's Meloni to travel to Algeria as Iran war disrupts Qatar LNG supplies


Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will travel to Algeria this week as Rome looks to secure alternative ​gas supplies amid prolonged disruptions in deliveries from Qatar, Reuters reported.


The ‌prime minister's office said Meloni will be in Algiers on Wednesday, without giving a detailed schedule for the official trip.


Algeria is one of the countries Italy is in talks with to secure gas supplies after Iranian strikes on Qatar appeared to ⁠have halted its exports for an extended period, Energy Minister Gilberto Pichetto Fratin said on Friday.


The minister said Italian state-controlled energy ​companies were talking to suppliers from Algeria, the United States and Azerbaijan to receive more gas, and the government was trying to assist ​them.


Algeria has become one of Italy's top gas suppliers ​after Rome moved to replace Russian gas following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine ‌in ⁠2022, and now covers around 30% of the country's annual gas consumption.


Qatar used to cover around 10% of Italy's consumption, but after Iranian attacks it told Italian customer Edison it would not be ​able to ⁠fulfil its contractual obligations for April.


The pause in supplies is likely to be longer-lasting after ​gas facilities were hit hard last week, QatarEnergy's ​CEO ⁠said.
