Frankfurt, Dec 18 (Reuters) - German Utility Industry Group Bdew on Wednesday Reported Annual National Usage of Natural Gas of 835 Billion Kilowatt Hours (Kwh) in 2024, up 3.3% on the Previous Year.
The Figure Is Watched in the Context of Germany's Growing Reliance on Gas Imports via Intra-European Pipelines Other Than From Russia, Which Were Halted in the Ukraine War, and on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) From Overseas.
Separately, in Preliminary Statistics, Bdew Said That Gross Electricity Production Was 488.5 Billion Kwh in 2024, Down 2.4% Year on Year, of Which 58.1% Came From Renewable Sources.
