ACER forecasts a 20% increase in LNG imports this summer compared to 2024

The Agency for the Cooperation of European Energy Regulators (ACER) forecasts a 20% increase in LNG imports this summer compared to last summer if the European Union wants to meet its gas storage targets. ACER's conclusions are in line with those of the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (ENTSO-G). ACER recommends maintaining the 90% fill rate target but proposes postponing the date by which this fill rate must be achieved from November 1 to December 1
