The European Union (EU) in September 2026 imported 11.3 billion cubic meters of gas – 17% more than in September 2025. This follows from the October report of the Forum of Gas Exporting Countries (GECF). For nine months, deliveries increased by 4% yoy to 110 billion cubic meters. The increase in imports was mainly due to increased supplies from Norway and Algeria, analysts said.
