Enagás is a Spanish energy company that specializes in the transportation and regasification of natural gas. As the independent technical manager of Spain’s gas system, the company oversees the planning, development and operation of the country’s high-pressure transmission network. Enagás’s core activities include the construction, maintenance and management of pipelines and storage facilities designed to ensure the reliable supply of natural gas to industrial, power generation and distribution customers across the Iberian Peninsula.
The company operates six liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification plants strategically located on Spain’s Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts. These terminals enable the import, storage and reconversion of LNG into its gaseous state, supporting Spain’s role as a key entry point for global LNG supplies into Europe. Enagás also provides related services such as capacity bookings, blending operations and technical consultancy to optimize network efficiency and security of supply.
Beyond its domestic infrastructure, Enagás holds minority stakes in international energy transport and storage ventures. The company maintains partnerships and shareholdings in firms across Europe, North America and Latin America, furthering its expertise in pipeline development and LNG logistics. These strategic investments help diversify Enagás’s footprint and provide exposure to emerging gas markets while sharing best practices in regulation and system operation.
Founded in 1972 and headquartered in Madrid, Enagás was initially established as a state-owned entity to support the development of Spain’s natural gas industry. The company underwent partial privatization in the early 2000s and today operates under a regulated framework that ensures transparent access to its networks. Enagás’s long track record in gas transmission and its role as system operator underpin its reputation as a cornerstone of Spain’s energy infrastructure.
