Europe's LNG imports this week: send-out by country and terminal
EU LNG imports as they reach the grid: send-out by country and by terminal over the latest seven gas days, against the same days last year and the five-year average, with each terminal's capacity and tank fullness. Read from GIE ALSI+ every gas day.
In the 7 gas days to 11 Nov 2026, EU LNG terminals sent an average of 4,155 GWh/d of regasified LNG into the grid. That is 6.2% less than the same days of 2025 (4,429 GWh/d), and 11.3% more than the 2021 to 2025 average for those days (3,734 GWh/d). The terminals used 50.7% of the send-out capacity they declared (dtrs), which was 8,215 GWh/d on the newest day. GIE marks 11 Nov 2026 as an estimate, so it may still be revised.
LNG send-out by country and terminal, this week against last year
Average send-out over the gas days 5 Nov 2026 to 11 Nov 2026, against 5 Nov 2025 to 11 Nov 2025. Capacity used is send-out over the send-out capacity each terminal declared for the same days (dtrs). Tanks is LNG in tank as a share of declared tank capacity (dtmi) on the newest day reported.

A figure needs five of its seven gas days reported and passing our plausibility screen; fewer shows as withheld. A small 6/7d beside a figure marks an average over fewer than seven days. GIE marks 11 Nov 2026 as an estimate for at least the EU total, so the newest day may be revised.
Coverage. This week GIE ALSI+ has figures for 31 terminals in 12 EU countries. A terminal that does not report to ALSI+ is not counted at all. The UK's Dragon, Isle of Grain and South Hook terminals are listed but reported nothing this week, so the UK is in no figure here. Listed but silent this week: Hamina (Finland), Le Havre (FSRU Cape Ann) (France) and Ostsee / Lubmin (FSRU Neptune) (Germany). Voltstack's stored history, which draws the chart and the five-year average, holds the EU total and stores Spain, France, the Netherlands, Italy and Belgium by country; it has no terminal series and nothing for Germany, Poland, Portugal, Lithuania, Croatia, Finland and Greece, so every country and terminal comparison here is read from GIE ALSI+ directly.
European LNG terminals: capacity, send-out and tank fullness
Every EU terminal that reported to GIE ALSI+ this week, largest first by the send-out capacity it declared (dtrs) on its newest reported gas day. Send-out is the average over the gas days 5 Nov 2026 to 11 Nov 2026, and capacity used is send-out over dtrs across the same days. Tank fullness is LNG in tank over declared tank capacity (dtmi) on the newest gas day the terminal reported both. Capacities and tanks are for gas day 11 Nov 2026 unless a day is shown beside them.

Capacity is what each operator declared to GIE ALSI+ for the gas day, so it can change from one gas day to the next. A terminal that reported nothing this week is not in this table; the ones GIE ALSI+ lists but heard nothing from are named under Coverage above. Capacity used can pass 100% when a terminal sends out more than it declared; the screen accepts up to 25% above dtrs.

Questions people ask about European LNG
How much LNG is Europe sending out this week?
In the 7 gas days to 11 Nov 2026, EU LNG terminals sent an average of 4,155 GWh/d of regasified LNG into the grid. That is 6.2% less than the same days of 2025 (4,429 GWh/d), and 11.3% more than the 2021 to 2025 average for those days (3,734 GWh/d). The terminals used 50.7% of the send-out capacity they declared (dtrs), which was 8,215 GWh/d on the newest day. GIE marks 11 Nov 2026 as an estimate, so it may still be revised.
How much LNG does Europe import?
GIE ALSI+ does not report cargoes as they unload. Its closest daily measure of imports is send-out, the regasified LNG that terminals feed into the grid. From 1 January to 11 Nov 2026, EU terminals sent out 1,202 TWh, 4.3% less than the 1,256 TWh over the same days of 2025. In the 7 gas days to 11 Nov 2026 they averaged 4,155 GWh/d. Their tanks held 31.8 TWh of LNG on 11 Nov 2026, 50.6% of declared tank capacity (dtmi). Send-out runs a few days behind unloading, because a cargo goes into the tanks first.
Will LNG imports to Europe increase?
We don't forecast imports. Here is what the data shows so far. This week's send-out is 6.2% less than the same days of 2025. Year to date it is 4.3% less than 2025. Terminals used 50.7% of their declared send-out capacity, leaving about 4,059 GWh/d unused, so there is physical room for more. Whether cargoes arrive to fill that room depends on the global LNG market, which this page does not cover.
How much LNG does Europe need to refill storage?
EU gas storage held 807 TWh on gas day 11 Nov 2026, 71.3% of its 1,132 TWh capacity (GIE AGSI+). Reaching 90% full needs another 212 TWh. At this week's EU LNG send-out of 4,155 GWh/d, that equals about 51 days of everything Europe's terminals regasify. Not all send-out goes into storage: some of it is burned the same day, and pipeline imports and domestic production fill storage too. Read the figure as a scale, not a timetable.
Which European country sends out the most LNG?
France sent out the most in the 7 gas days to 11 Nov 2026, 840 GWh/d on average, followed by the Netherlands (804 GWh/d) and Spain (792 GWh/d). Together they made up 59% of EU send-out. The table on this page breaks each country down by terminal.
Which are the largest LNG terminals in Europe?
Ranked by declared send-out capacity that day (dtrs, what each operator reported to GIE ALSI+ for its newest gas day, not a nameplate figure), the largest EU terminals in the 7 gas days to 11 Nov 2026 were Zeebrugge in Belgium (724 GWh/d, 22.5% of it used this week), Rotterdam Gate in the Netherlands (632 GWh/d, 95.1% of it used this week) and Dunkerque in France (575 GWh/d, 70.8% of it used this week). The terminal table on this page lists all 31 EU terminals that reported, with their tank capacity and how full each tank was. The UK's terminals are not among them: ALSI+ lists them, but they reported nothing this week.
Where does Europe's LNG come from?
This page doesn't say, on purpose. GIE ALSI+ reports what each terminal sends into the grid and holds in its tanks, not where the cargoes were loaded. Tying send-out to a supplier country needs ship-tracking data, which we don't have, so we don't estimate it.
Where does this data come from, and how current is it?
From GIE ALSI+, the transparency platform run by Gas Infrastructure Europe, which LNG terminal operators report to every gas day. It runs about two days behind, so the newest gas day here is 11 Nov 2026. Every EU, country and terminal figure passes a plausibility screen before it is used, and a refused figure shows as withheld, never as a substitute number. The UK's terminals are listed in ALSI+ but reported nothing this week, so they are not in these figures. The chart, the five-year average and the year-to-date totals come from Voltstack's stored daily history of the same source.

How these figures are made, and what they leave out
- Send-out is the regasified LNG a terminal feeds into the grid in a gas day, in GWh. It is not the same as a cargo unloading: LNG sits in the tanks first.
- dtrs is the send-out capacity a terminal declares for the day and dtmi its declared tank capacity, both as reported to GIE ALSI+. They are the operator's declarations for that gas day, not nameplate figures from any other source, and they can change from one gas day to the next.
- Every EU, country and terminal record is screened on its own. It is refused if send-out is negative or more than 25% above dtrs, or tank inventory is negative or more than 10% above dtmi. A refused record counts as unreported. Stored history points above 125% of the current EU dtrs are dropped the same way. This render refused 1 record.
- GIE ALSI+ publishes about two days behind, and a gas day marked as an estimate can change when the operator confirms it.
- The page names no supplier country for any cargo; that needs ship tracking we don't have. It carries no prices of any kind.
- For how full Europe's underground storage is, see the EU gas storage tracker.
