FRANKFURT, Dec 18 (Reuters) - German utility industry group BDEW on Wednesday reported annual national usage of natural gas of 835 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) in 2024, up 3.3% on the previous year.

The figure is watched in the context of Germany's growing reliance on gas imports via intra-European pipelines other than from Russia, which were halted in the Ukraine war, and on liquefied natural gas $(LNG)$ from overseas.

Separately, in preliminary statistics, BDEW said that gross electricity production was 488.5 billion kWh in 2024, down 2.4% year on year, of which 58.1% came from renewable sources.
