Egypt cuts LNG imports by 11% in September
The article discussed Egypt's decreased imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) during September 2026, which fell by 11%, reaching approximately 73 billion cubic feet compared to 82.8 billion cubic feet in August. This decline is attributed to a reduced need for additional gas imports due to the stabilization of natural gas flows from Israel, which increased to about one billion cubic feet per day following maintenance work at the Tamar and Leviathan fields. LNG imports now meet around 33% of Egypt's gas needs for operating power plants and the industrial sector, while the remaining demand relies on local production and imports from Israel. Egypt is actively working to enhance its reception and storage capacities to reduce dependence on imports, as well as developing exploration and production efforts to boost domestic output and narrow the demand gap, especially during the summer season when electricity demand surges.
