Security of supply overview for the 2026/2027 gas year
Press release
Today, the security of supply overview for the 2026/2027 gas year that Gasunie Transport Services (GTS) (100% subsidiary of Gasunie) recently submitted to the Dutch Ministry of Climate Policy and Green Growth was published.
In it, GTS concludes that there will be sufficient capacity and volume available to meet demand for natural gas in the Netherlands in the 2026-2027 gas year, even if it is a cold year. This is based on the assumption that the LNG terminal at the port of Eemshaven will remain available beyond 2027 as well. GTS also warns of an increasing reliance on imports and points to the importance of gas storage facilities in this context. Furthermore, current geopolitical developments may carry risks such as potential long-term disruptions of gas supply and/or gas infrastructure.
Measures to mitigate prolonged disruptions are of a different nature and go beyond the scope of this security of supply overview. Later this year, Gasunie will publish a separate report to convey its vision on the potential risks and measures to take in the event of long-term infrastructure disruptions.
