  • Greece has relied on Russia for about 40% of its gas needs for years but it has ramped up LNG purchases from other countries in line with a European Union plan to cut dependence on Russian energy.
  • Bulgaria has also been importing LNG through the terminal after being cut off from Russian supplies following its refusal to pay in roubles.
  • In July, DESFA leased a vessel or a so-called floating storage unit (FSU), which is moored close to Revithoussa and can boost its storage capacity by an additional 145,000 cubic metres of gas, if needed.
