“In the current marketing round on October 23, 2025, Deutsche Energy Terminal GmbH (DET) successfully allocated all offered regasification products for the period from 2 January to 26 May 2026 for the Brunsbüttel terminal (BBU),” the company said on Tuesday.
DET notes that a total of 58 million MMBtu – equivalent to 16 slots, each with a standard size of 3.6 million MMBtu – were successfully allocated.
Moreover, the auction, conducted via the digital PRISMA platform, achieved an average price of €0.66/MMBtu ($0.77/MMBtu).
“The strong market participation of more than 20 registered shippers, as well as the comparatively high price achieved, reflect the current strong market interest,” Andrei Zschocke, DET’s head of capacity planning, marketing, and strategy, said.
“For the first time, so-called reserve capacities were also placed on the market, which further contribute to supply security and help stabilize energy prices in Germany, particularly in high-demand market situations,” he said.
DET added that it expects to offer the remaining capacity to the market for the Brunsbüttel terminal in the first quarter of 2026.
The company previously announced that the 170,000-cbm FSRU Hoegh Gannet, which serves the Elbehafen LNG import terminal in Brunsbüttel, will be relocated to the Danish Fayard shipyard from September 18 until the middle of November.
Hoegh Gannet is currently working at the Brunsbüttel Port’s existing dangerous goods berth in Brunsbüttel’s Elbehafen port, while a new jetty is being built to the west of this location.
Wilhelmshaven FSRUs
In addition to the Brunsbüttel FSRU-based terminal, DET operates two facilities in Wilhelmshaven.
DET launched commercial operations at its second FSRU-based terminal in Wilhelmshaven in August.
In May, the 2024-built 174,000-cbm Energy Endurance delivered the commissioning cargo to Excelerate’s 138,000-cbm FSRU Excelsior in Wilhelmshaven from Venture Global LNG’s Plaquemines LNG export plant in Louisiana.
The chartered FSRU is located two kilometers south of the Wilhelmshaven 1 terminal.
It is moored at an island jetty, completed last year, and located about 1.5 km from the shore.
