Credited from: REUTERS

  • TotalEnergies' unit will pay $5 million to settle allegations of market manipulation by U.S. regulators regarding natural gas trading activities from 2009 to 2012.
  • The settlement sum is significantly lower than the $214 million originally requested by the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
  • This agreement resolves claims without admitting liability from TotalEnergies, marking a resolution of FERC's investigation.
  • TotalEnergies stated that its unit, TGPNA, has always claimed it acted lawfully in its trading practices.
  • The allegations involved trading strategies known as "uneconomic trading," intentionally losing trades aimed at manipulating prices.
