The Czech Republic will begin receiving liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies from May 1, the news site DeníkN.cz reported on Friday. The deliveries will be made by the daughter company of Slovakia’s energy supplier SPP, which ordered the LNG from the United States.

SPP has ordered 93 million cubic metres of liquefied natural gas 5 million of which will be sent to the Czech market. Further orders are to be made on a monthly basis.
