Turkey’s natural gas consumption decreased year-on-year by 8.28 percent to around 48.9 billion cubic meters in 2018, according to official figures from Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Turkey’s natural gas consumption declined because of the consistent above-average temperatures in the first half of 2018.<\/p>\n
The country’s natural gas consumption saw a record high in 2017 with 53.85 billion cubic meters.<\/p>\n
In January 2018, the country also broke a record in natural gas imports, exceeding 6 billion cubic meters for the first time on a monthly basis. This was due to reduced production at hydropower plants, which was compensated by higher production in gas-fired plants.<\/p>\n
Turkey’s natural gas imports also decreased by 8.85 percent to 50.36 billion cubic meters in 2018 from 55.25 billion cubic meters in 2017.<\/p>\n
The country exported 673 million cubic meters of gas in 2018 – an increase of 6.76 percent compared to 2017.<\/p>\n
Last year, Turkey also produced 428 million cubic meters of gas, an increase of 20.90 percent compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
