<p>British Gas parent Centrica has announced a £2 billion deal with Qatar for the supply of enough gas to meet the needs of around 2.5 million UK households.</p>
<p>The three-year supply contract for liquefied natural gas (LNG) with Qatargas is the first deal of its kind for the UK firm.</p>
<p>Centrica added the agreement was an important step forward in meeting the UK&#8217;s energy needs as competition for gas increases and North Sea production declines.</p>
<p>The deal, which was unveiled as chief executive Sam Laidlaw accompanied Prime Minister David Cameron on a trade delegation to Qatar, will provide enough gas to meet around 10% of UK residential gas demand and around 25% of households supplied by British Gas.</p>
<p>Mr Laidlaw said: &#8220;The UK is the largest gas consumer in Europe and one of the fastest growing markets for gas imports. </p>
<p>&#8220;LNG provides the UK with a bridge to major global gas reserves. This deal is of particular importance and we hope that this will be the start of a longer term working relationship.</p>
<p>&#8220;The relationship between Qatar, the world&#8217;s leading LNG exporter, and the UK connects supplier and consumer nations. </p>
<p>&#8220;Securing gas supplies benefits our customers, underpins our business and provides an important component of the UK&#8217;s long term energy security.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Cameron welcomed the deal, adding: &#8220;This important agreement is good for Britain, good for our energy security, good for jobs, and good for economic growth.&#8221;</p>
