DESFA has successfully concluded the annual auctions for the booking of LNG unloading slots and regasification capacity at the Revithoussa LNG Terminal for the 2026–2040 period, which were held between October 2025 and January 2026, recording particularly positive results.
During the auctions, 413 unloading slots were offered, corresponding to a total quantity of LNG of 342.5 TWh, of which 409 were booked, with a total quantity of 340.5 TWh, with the participation of up to five users per year, which once again demonstrates the strong interest of the market.
This year’s auctions once again confirmed the strategic importance of LNG in users’ energy planning and highlighted the practice of long-term capacity booking as a key mechanism to enhance energy security, predictability and market stability. Furthermore, their results highlighted the high level of market trust in the energy infrastructure of Revithoussa, as well as the key role of Greece in enhancing the security of supply of the wider region of SE Europe.
At the same time, DESFA’s new infrastructure, such as the compression station in Komotini and Ampelia, combined with investments to upgrade and expand the National Natural Gas Transmission System, allow the transport of increased natural gas flow to the North, confirming that the country now operates as a stable and reliable LNG entry gateway at a regional level.
