Record jump in Algerian gas production.. Anticipated visit of Meloni enhances supply prospects

Algeria's natural gas production reached 10.44 billion cubic meters in January 2026, an annual increase of 7% equivalent to 688 million cubic meters, the highest level in nearly three years, coinciding with anticipated diplomatic moves to enhance energy partnerships, notably the upcoming visit of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni this Wednesday, which places the gas file at the forefront of concerns. According to a report from the Energy Research Platform, monthly production rose by 10.7%, an increase of one billion cubic meters compared to December 2025, while local consumption reached 6.62 billion cubic meters compared to 5.98 billion cubic meters a year ago, with the country continuing to rely on gas for nearly 99% of its electricity generation.
