Canada has reached a deal to export liquefied natural gas to Germany from a planned Pacific coast terminal, an official familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.

The official confirmed that Canada will sign the agreement with Germany’s SEFE Group — Securing Energy for Europe — for supply from the proposed KSI Lisims export facility on the coast of British Columbia. The official spoke on condition of anonymity, as they were not authorised to speak ahead of Wednesday’s announcement.

The official said up to one million metric tonnes of liquefied natural gas per year will be exported.
