Are European LNG terminals draining at a rate that can offset low pipeline supply?
Timeline for GIE ALSI
Recorded EU LNG terminal stock fall from 5,929kt to 5,766kt between 10 and 13 April
European Energy Markets: EU LNG terminals drew 163kt in three daysMentioned in: Asian LNG down 8.6% as Wheatstone stays offline
European Energy MarketsMentioned in: First LNG tanker crossed Hormuz since February
European Energy MarketsMentioned in: Bruegel data: record March LNG was pre-ban loading
European Energy Markets- How much LNG is Europe importing right now in 2026?
- EU LNG terminals drew 163,000 tonnes in a three-day window in early April 2026, an elevated rate reflecting pipeline shortfalls and low underground storage at 28.92%.Source: GIE ALSI / Lowdown
- What is the difference between AGSI+ and ALSI?
- AGSI+ tracks underground gas storage (caverns, depleted fields); ALSI tracks LNG import terminal stocks and sendout. Together they give a complete picture of Europe's gas buffer.
- Why does Spain have lower gas prices than Germany right now?
- Spain's six LNG import terminals give it the EU's highest regasification capacity, allowing it to source cheaper spot LNG. Germany has no LNG terminals and depends on pipeline gas.Source: ACER
Background
The GIE ALSI (Aggregated LNG Storage Inventory) dashboard is operated by Gas Infrastructure Europe and provides daily public data on LNG terminal send-out rates and inventory levels across Europe. Unlike the gas storage AGSI+ feed — which tracks underground caverns and depleted fields — ALSI covers the floating and onshore LNG import terminals that serve as the continent's primary flexible supply buffer. In the week of 7-10 April 2026, EU LNG terminals drew 163,000 tonnes over three days, an elevated sendout rate as operators sought to offset low pipeline flows.
ALSI data is a critical secondary indicator alongside AGSI+. When underground storage is low — as it was in April 2026 — the pace of LNG terminal drawdown signals whether the market is successfully substituting spot LNG for missing pipeline gas, or draining both buffers simultaneously.
The dashboard covers terminals in France (Dunkerque, Montoir), Spain (six terminals), the Netherlands (Gate), Belgium (Zeebrugge), and Italy (Panigaglia, OLT), among others. Spain's six regasification terminals give it the largest LNG import capacity in Europe, which partly explains the large spread between Spanish and northern European day-ahead power prices in April 2026.
