In the first quarter of 2022, natural gas sales of 18.26 bcm increased by 4 percent compared to the same period of 2021, due to the higher gas volumes marketed in Italy, particularly in the wholesaler segment and to higher sales in the European markets, mainly in Turkey. Also LNG sales increased in comparison to last year. These positives were partly offset by lower volumes sold to importers in Italy.
