According to a report by Türkiye Today on January 13, Turkey is set to receive four shipments of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Algeria, Angola, and the United States by January 15 to address the anticipated surge in energy demand driven by an expected sharp drop in temperatures, which is projected to push consumption to seasonal peaks. Based on international vessel tracking data, two LNG carriers have departed from Algeria, one from Angola, and one from the United States, with a total loading capacity exceeding 600,000 cubic meters. After processing, these LNG shipments are expected to yield over 350 million cubic meters of natural gas, sufficient to meet approximately 1.5 days of household and industrial gas demand in Turkey during winter or about 2.5 days in summer.
