Capacity of Route 1 for gas imports from Greece to Ukraine fully booked for March

On Monday, February 23, an auction was held to book monthly capacity of the joint Route 1 product for natural gas imports to Ukraine for March.

According to the auction results, all offered capacity was booked – about 2.41 mcm per day or nearly 75 mcm for the entire month. Data from the capacity booking platform evidence this, ExPro reports.

The joint Route 1 product allows market participants to book capacity for natural gas imports from the Greek LNG terminal Revithoussa to Ukraine at special reduced tariffs. The route became operational in July 2025. In recent months, demand for Route 1 capacity has been minimal: no capacity was booked for January, and only 4.5 tcm per day was reserved for February.

According to ExPro, natural gas via Route 1 in March will be received by Naftogaz of Ukraine. Earlier, a Greek company reported that the first U.S. LNG deliveries to Ukraine via Greece are expected in March. The gas will be supplied under a contract with the Greek company Atlantic See LNG Trade.

At the same time, capacity under Route 2 (from the Greek LNG terminal Alexandroupolis) and Route 3 (from the TAP entry point, Azerbaijani gas) was not booked.

As previously reported by ExPro, Naftogaz received the first U.S. LNG cargo of the year in February via Poland as part of cooperation with Poland’s Orlen.
