“For the first time, all LNG unloading slots at the Revithoussa terminal for the next decade (2026–2035) have been fully booked through DESFA’s auction process – a historic milestone for our infrastructure and the European gas market,” the Greek firm, owned by a consortium led by Snam, said via its social media.
“This significant achievement reinforces Greece’s position as a key energy gateway and highlights Revithoussa’s strategic role in enhancing energy security and diversifying supply routes for Greece and the wider Southeastern and Central Eastern Europe region,” it said.
According to DESFA, six users booked 22 slots, totaling 37 TWh in 2026.
Moreover, six users booked 44 slots, totaling 36.5 TWh, in 2027.
In 2028, four users booked 44 slots, totaling 35 TWh, while five users booked 43 slots, totaling 35.5 TWh in 2029.
Five users booked 43 slots, totaling 36 TWh, in 2030, and five users booked 44 slots, totaling 36 TWh, in 2031.
In 2032, five users booked 44 slots, totaling 36 TWh, the same as in 2033, 2034, and 2035.
Earlier this year, DESFA upgraded its LNG import terminal located on the island of Revithoussa with a new high-pressure boil-off gas compressor station.
The station captures LNG vapors from the terminal’s tanks and injects them into the high-pressure network, eliminating flaring in normal operation.
LNG deliveries to DESFA’s Revithoussa LNG terminal surged in January-September this year, with the US supplying 88 percent of the volumes.
LNG shipments during the nine-month period totaled 22.41 terawatt-hours, equivalent to 36 tankers.
This marks a 63.6 percent rise compared to 12.34 TWh in the same period last year.
