Energy authorities in Greece have signaled that the country’s natural gas system is expected to remain under pressure until early February.

Liquefied natural gas reserves at the LNG terminal on the islet of Revythousa are set to run out tomorrow because the LNG carrier that had been supposed to deliver a shipment from Algiers was not able to dock at the Algerian capital’s port in time due to rough seas.

This development has generated major concern in Athens and on Wednesday the Regulatory Authority for Energy convoked the Crisis Management Committee, which assessed the situation regarding the uninterrupted supply of electricity and natural gas around the country.

Turkish power and gas traders were braced for one of the country’s ‘worst energy crisis’, amid fears of supply shortages and soaring demand in the upcoming week.

Companies have raised concerns about a pending shortage of LNG volumes over the next seven days at a time of cold weather-driven spiking demand, uncertain pipeline imports and reduced hydro production.

“This is the biggest energy crisis of Turkey and it appears that next week [the gas transmission system operator and incumbent] BOTAS won’t be able to meet demand even with gas curtailments,” a power trader told ICIS on Friday.
