Spain boosts LNG imports in 2025

Spanish liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports increased in 2025, with US volumes almost doubling compared with the previous year, according to LNG terminal operator Enagas.

Enagas said in its monthly report that Spanish gas imports, including pipeline gas and LNG imports, reached 372.4 TWh in 2025, up from 340.4 TWh in 2024.

In December 2025, total gas imports reached 31.2 TWh, up from 26.3 TWh in the comparable month.

Enagas previously said that Spanish gas consumption increased by 6.4 percent in 2025 to 331.4 TWh.

The increase is mainly due to higher gas demand for power generation, which rose by 33.3 percent to 99.6 TWh, Enagas said.

However, conventional natural gas demand for household, commercial, and industrial consumption reached 231.8 TWh in 2025, 2 percent lower than in 2024.

According to the firm, transported natural gas demand, which includes domestic demand plus exports, grew by 7.4 percent in 2025 to 372 TWh, driven by the increase in demand for electricity generation, and by exports, which increased by 17.4 percent to 40.5 TWh.

US LNG volumes jump

Enagas operates a large network of gas pipelines in Spain and has three wholly-owned LNG import plants in Barcelona, Huelva, and Cartagena.

It also owns 75 percent of the Musel LNG facility, 50 percent of the BBG regasification plant in Bilbao, and 72.5 percent of the Sagunto plant, while Reganosa operates the Mugardos plant.

Out of the 372.4 TWh of imported gas in 2025, approximately 248 TWh were LNG imports, according to Enagas data.

This compares to approximately 204 TWh in 2024.

LNG volumes from the US jumped to 111.6 TWh in 2025 from 56.4 TWh in 2024, the data shows.

The US accounted for 30 percent of Spain’s total gas imports in 2025, while Algeria accounted for 34 percent, including 107.1 TWh of pipeline imports and 21.3 TWh of LNG imports.

On the other hand, Russian volumes dipped to 42.6 TWh last year from 72.3 TWh in 2024.

Other LNG suppliers to Spain include Nigeria, Angola, Qatar, Peru, Norway, Trinidad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Egypt, and Cameroon.
