LNG Terminals in Germany
Germany has 22 LNG terminals mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 15th-largest fleet of the 102 countries that hold any, and 2% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 8 operating and 9 under construction or proposed. Combined LNG capacity is about 100 Mtpa. The largest is Wilhelmshaven TES LNG Terminal (11.03 Mtpa).
The largest owner-operators are KN Energies (6), Deutsche ReGas (5) and Hanseatic Energy Hub (3) — KN Energies alone is named on 27% of them. Half of Germany's LNG terminals in service predate 2024 (median commissioning year of the 8 with a known date), 8 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Wilhelmshaven FSRU, dating from 2022. 9 are in the pipeline, led by Wilhelmshaven TES LNG Terminal (11.03 Mtpa), proposed. They account for 3% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Germany.
