Cheniere Energy Inc., the Texan liquefied natural gas company planning to start exports this year, urged South Africa to consider U.S. supplies as it adds gas to its energy mix.

Cheniere “would be delighted to talk to developers” in South Africa, said Renato Pereira, vice president of origination and marketing for the Americas. U.S. LNG supply “is coming and it’s coming fast.”
