Germany’s DET to hold regas capacity auction

German LNG terminal operator Deutsche Energy Terminal will hold a short-term capacity auction for its three FSRU-based facilities later this month.

The state-owned firm announced on Tuesday the upcoming auction of remaining short-term regasification capacities at its Brunsbüttel, Wilhelmshaven 01, and Wilhelmshaven 02 terminals.

According to DET, the auction will take place on November 25 and 26, 2025, offering a total of 31 slots for market participants.

DET will make available remaining capacities for LNG storage, regasification, and sendout to the gas grid for December 2025, Q1, Q2, and Q4 2026, and January 2027.

“Capacities for the second half of 2026 at the Brunsbüttel terminal are expected to be offered to the market during the first quarter of 2026,” DET said.

DET recently allocated all of the offered January-May 2026 regasification slots at its FSRU-based facility in Brunsbüttel.

The firm said 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).

DET’s LNG terminals

DET 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.

In addition to the Brunsbüttel FSRU-based terminal, DET operates the 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.
