Czech GasNet increased gas distribution by seven percent last year, helped by cold weather

Natural gas consumption in Czechia is rising. GasNet, the country’s largest distributor, delivered 63.3 terawatt-hours (TWh) of gas last year, up seven percent year on year. The number of connected supply points and the share of biomethane in the network also increased. GasNet told ČTK today. Gas consumption across Czechia rose by 6.9 percent last year to 79 TWh.

"Consumption trends were primarily influenced by weather conditions during the year, especially colder months in the heating season," said GasNet Group chief executive Andrzej Martynek.

According to him, consumption increased across all customer groups. Households and small customers consumed 26.2 TWh, a tenth more than in 2024. Among medium-sized and large customers, consumption rose five percent year on year to 37.1 TWh.

GasNet recorded its highest daily demand last year on 17 February, when customers in the company’s distribution area consumed 33.3 million cubic metres of gas.

GasNet connected a total of 15.406 new supply points in its service area last year. The company recorded the largest increase among large and medium-sized customers such as heating plants, industrial businesses and energy-intensive operations.
