Russian LNG returns to Spain in October after September lull
Nov 10 (Reuters) - Spain restarted importing liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia in October, after not doing so in September, data from Spanish grid operator Enagas released on Tuesday showed.
Spain imported 2,086 GWh of Russian LNG in October, almost doubling the 1,078 GWh imported in October 2025
The amount represented 6.4% of Spain's overall gas imports in October
So far this year, Russian gas accounts for 14% of Spain's gas imports compared with less than 11% in the same period last year
The EU has been reducing Russian fuel imports since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and agreed to ban gas imports by late 2027
Under the plan, all Russian LNG imports will stop from January 1, 2027
Spain recorded no Russian LNG imports in September 2026 and in September 2021
