Enagas: Spanish gas consumption down 4.2 percent in 2024

World Maritime

In 2024, total natural gas consumption amounted to 311.7 TWh, Enagas said on Thursday. The decrease is mainly due to lower gas demand for power generation. Specifically,

the monitoring, control, and authorization of ship loadings carried out in the Spanish gas system in order to ensure that the loaded LNG does not originate from Russia.

In 2024, the Spanish gas system received gas from 14 different origins, contributing to a broad diversification of supply and positioning Spain as a strategic entry point for LNG from Europe, Enagas said.

Likewise, LNG terminals carried out more than twice as many LNG bunkering loadings in 2024 (3.8 TWh) than in 2023 (1.5 TWh), thus contributing to the decarbonization of the maritime sector, according to Enagas.

Natural gas fill levels in underground storage facilities ended the year above 80 percent – after reaching 100 perccent filling in August.

“In a European energy environment marked by the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, the Spanish gas system has operated 24 hours a day, every day of the year with 100 percent availability, demonstrating great robustness and flexibility,” Enagas said.
