Roydad Naft News Agency – Russia provided 27.9% of Spain’s gas imports in May, up from 11.9% a year earlier, Spanish government data showed on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia was Spain’s second biggest supplier of gas in May after Algeria, Cores, an arm of the Energy and Environment Ministry, said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spain imported the equivalent of 9,663 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of natural gas from Russia, more than twice the 4,357 GWh it imported in May 2022, Cores said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April, imports from Russia made up 17% of the total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spanish Energy Minister Teresa Ribera\u00a0told Reuters in May\u00a0that European Union countries would agree “sooner rather than later” to ban imports of liquefied natural gas from Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spain’s natural gas imports fell 5.4% to the equivalent to 34,683 GWh in May from a year earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The country re-exported the equivalent of 9,683 GWh of gas in May – mainly to France – a 24.6% increase from a year earlier.<\/p>\n
