Supported byClarion Energy

Greece’s natural gas exports increased by almost 169% in the first nine months of 2026, reaching 13.60 TWh between January and September. Exports were up from 5.06 TWh in the same period of 2025. Total demand, including exports, rose 12.72% to 63.53 TWh.

The higher export volumes coincided with a decline in domestic gas consumption. Domestic use fell by 2.67% to 49.93 TWh. Power producers remained the largest domestic customers, accounting for approximately 70% of demand.

LNG deliveries support export flows via Revythoussa and Alexandroupoli

The export increase was supported by stronger activity at Revythoussa and Alexandroupoli, which together injected 30.10 TWh into the transmission network. Deliveries through Alexandroupoli’s Amfitriti connection rose to 5.82 TWh, from 1.03 TWh in the corresponding period of 2025. Revythoussa supplied 24.28 TWh through Agia Triada, an increase of 11.58%.
