Germany has turned its back on years of reliance on Russian energy after it announced a deal with Norwegian state supplier Equinor to provide a third of its industrial gas needs.
Europe’s largest economy will pay €50bn (£43bn) a year to receive 111 terrawatt hours, or about 10bn cubic metres, of natural gas a year from January 1 until 2034.
Germany has been racing to wean itself off its dependence on Russian gas since the start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022.
