Greece’s Gastrade said it has resumed unloading and regasification services at the Alexandroupolis LNG terminal, making up to 45.4 GWh/day of regas capacity available (including booster-pump redundancy) through September 30, 2025, under specified operational and commercial conditions.
According to the company's release, the current 25% limit on the terminal’s nominal capacity will be lifted at the start of the new gas year on October 1, 2025, although some operational restrictions may persist for a limited period afterward.
Monday’s update follows a suspension that began in late January after a technical issue damaged the FSRU’s booster pumps. Gastrade outlined the cause and a staged restart plan in May.
The Alexandroupolis terminal entered commercial service on Oct. 1, 2024, and is designed for up to 5.5 bcm/year of regasification capacity via a 28-km subsea and onshore pipeline connecting to Greece’s National Natural Gas Transmission System.
Gastrade has said 14 Greek and international companies have committed nearly all capacity at least through 2030.
