German 2024 gas consumption up 3.3% from 2023
FRANKFURT, Dec 18 (Reuters) - German utility industry group BDEW on Wednesday reported annual national usage of natural gas of 835 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) in 2024, up 3.3% on the previous year.
The figure is watched in the context of Germany's growing reliance on gas imports via intra-European pipelines other than from Russia, which were halted in the Ukraine war, and on liquefied natural gas (LNG) from overseas.
