In the first half of 2026, Greece experienced a significant increase in natural gas demand, rising by 15.06% compared to the same period in 2025. This growth has been prominently attributed to a substantial boost in exports, which tripled year-over-year. The data reported by ΔΕΣΦΑ, the Greek natural gas system operator, indicates that the increase in demand is reflective of changing energy dynamics within the country.
As Greece's reliance on liquefied natural gas (LNG) deepens, LNG accounted for 64.2% of Greece's net gas supply during this period, which has raised concerns about the country's vulnerability to fluctuations in global gas markets. The heightened demand and growing dependence on LNG underscore shifting energy trends that are influencing both domestic consumption patterns and international energy trade.
