What the Data Shows
Portugal’s natural-gas consumption is tracked annually from 2015 through 2023. The measure reports energy content in petajoules rather than physical gas volume. The highest value was 227.7 petajoules in 2017, while the lowest was 155.5 petajoules in 2023. The final value was 155.5 petajoules, 8.7% below the 2015 level.

Data notes & caveats
The source reports energy content in terajoules rather than physical gas volume.
Methodology
The series uses the natural-gas column from the same annual national energy-consumption series and retains the source unit of terajoules.
Source consistency notes
All points use the same PORDATA series, Statistics Portugal source family, national energy-consumption frame and terajoule unit.
