Centrica completes escape
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Centrica, the gas distributor spun off from British Gas, has terminated its contract with Chevron UK, marking the end of a long and expensive battle to escape supply deals which obliged it to buy gas at above the going rate. It will pay an undisclosed sum to Chevron.
Centrica also said Kenneth Gardener has completed his role as chief negotiator of the "take or pay" contracts and was returning to Charterhouse Bank. During his two-year assignment, major deals were renegotiated with BP, Mobil, Conoco, Elf and Total, as well as smaller deals with Enterprise Oil, Amerada Hess, Chevron, Arco, Eastern Natural Gas and OMV.
