ENTSOG and GIE publish their joint System Capacity Map 2026

(Brussels, 19 January 2026)

ENTSOG and GIE today published their joint System Capacity Map 2026,
providing a comprehensive overview of Europe's gas infrastructure, capacities, and key market data.

The map presents aggregated historical gas demand and supply data for 2024-2025 at European level, based on the latest ENTSOG Summer and Winter Review Reports, displayed in the form of clear and accessible charts. It also includes import and transmission capacity data as of 1 January 2026. Information on gas storage fill rate and LNG capacities were sourced from GIE's AGSI and ALSI platforms respectively, while installed gas power generation capacity is based on data from the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform.

In this new edition, the System Capacity Map has been further expanded to include, where available, historical gas demand and supply data for Ukraine and Moldova, presented in the country profiles section located beneath the map. With each annual edition, ENTSOG and GIE continue to enhance data transparency and accessibility of Europe's gas infrastructure.

Piotr Kuś, ENTSOG General Director, commented, "ENTSOG and GIE aim annually to improve the map and how the data are presented, to ensure maximum transparency and information sharing. Our system capacity maps constitute a voluntary exercise but have been widely recognised and appreciated by institutions, industry stakeholders, and policymakers as valuable tools for gaining a comprehensive overview of the gas infrastructure across Europe."

Lucie Boost, GIE Secretary General, said, "A map can say more than one thousand words. The System Capacity Map demonstrates the resilience and continued development of Europe's gas infrastructure, encompassing transmission pipelines, underground storages, and LNG terminals, which together underpin security of gas supply across the continent. Especially in challenging times, this transparent and comprehensive overview supports informed decision-making and contributes to evidence-based political debates on the current and future utilisation of gas infrastructure within Europe's evolving energy system."

The map is available in print and digital formats.

The PDF version of the map is available for download from the ENTSOG website, here and GIE website, here.

Editorial notes

The European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (ENTSOG) was founded in 2009 and has played a key role in facilitating integration of the European gas markets, ensuring technical interoperability and providing security of supply by gas infrastructure planning. Looking forward, ENTSOG is contributing to the net-zero decarbonisation by 2050, in particular, by the integration of renewable and low carbon gases via future-proof gas transmission pipelines, in line with the EU energy and climate goals. More information on ENTSOG can be found on our website - www.entsog.eu or contact [email protected].

Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE) is the association representing the interests of European gas infrastructure operators. GIE members are active in transmission, storage and regasification via LNG terminals of renewable and low-carbon gases, including natural gas and hydrogen. Gathering around 72 industry entities from 25 European countries, GIE perfectly embodies the multiple transitional decarbonisation pathways of the EU regions. The association's vision is that by 2050, the gas infrastructure will be the backbone of the new innovative energy system, allowing European citizens and industries to benefit from a secure, efficient and sustainable energy supply.
