Oct 28 (LNGJ) - Spanish natural gas demand for generating gas-fired power electricity has risen to record levels in October, according to transmission network and LNG terminal owner Enagas. Gas consumption for power in October was at the highest level since July 2015 and the second highest since October 2012. “Consumption for electricity is expected to close the month at 7,300 gigawatt hours, the highest monthly figure this year, confirming the importance of natural gas in the power generation mix,” Enagas said. “Total demand grew by around 7.5 percent compared with October last year,” it said. “Records this month have been mainly driven by a lower contribution from wind energy and increased electricity exports (to France),” Enagas added.
