DEPA requests additional quantities of LNG

Greece's Public Gas Corporation (DEPA) has asked its suppliers for increased quantities of liquefied natural gas in response to the growth in demand for the commodity in the local market and the reduction in the flow of gas from the country's northern borders.

Increased quantities that normally head to Greece were transmitted to Central Europe instead, due to the reduction in electricity production in France through nuclear energy and its replacement with output from gas-operated power plants.
