The US is still Spain's largest gas supplier, but Russian shipments are on the rise

Enagas data showed that liquefied natural gas from the United States was Spain's largest?gas supplier in March. However, its share decreased as Russian shipments increased sharply and total imports rose slightly compared to last year.

In March, Spain imported 37.633 gigawatt hours (GWh) more gas than it did a year ago.

Algeria accounted for 10,262 GWh or 30.2% of the total. The U.S. was third with 11,938 GWh. Russian imports jumped to 9,807 GWh representing 26.1% of total. This is more than twice the?4,393 Gigawatt-hours imported a month earlier.

Since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the U.S. is now Europe's largest supplier of liquefied gas.

The data for March revealed that it is difficult to reduce 'that dependence.' Russian gas shipments into?Spain have risen sharply, accounting for more than a quarter of the total imports.

In March 2025, liquified natural gas was 72.0% of the supply. This is up from 69.6%. (Reporting and editing by Matt Scuffham; Mireia merino)
