Liquefied natural gas (LNG) flows from European terminals to the EU gas transportation system in March set an all-time record, TASS calculations based on Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE) data show.
By the end of March, flows amounted to about 12.7 billion cubic meters, representing a 17% increase over February and a 19% rise compared to March 2024. This figure set a new record, exceeding the previous high of 12.2 bcm recorded in May 2023.
For the first quarter of 2025, total LNG receipts from terminals to the European gas transportation system reached about 34 billion cubic meters, which is 9.6% higher than during the same period in 2024. According to data from the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (ENTSOG) as of March 30, gas withdrawal from storage currently ranks first among Europe's gas supply sources with a 36.6% share. LNG supplies hold second place at 28.5%, while North Sea supplies (primarily Norwegian gas) rank third with 19%. Deliveries from the East, including Russian and Ukrainian gas as well as European companies taking gas from Ukrainian storage facilities, accounted for 4.7%. Additional supplies came from North Africa (7.2%) and the UK (1.6%).
