The gas level in storage facilities in Germany is 99.65%, their filling continues, and the risk of gas shortage in winter is considered low. This was reported by German Federal Network Agency.
“Budnesagency considers the risk of gas supply disruptions to be low in generally cold winter conditions. The supply situation has improved significantly compared to last winter. The report stated that additional capacity was available to inject gas into the system from LNG facilities and that the loss of gas flow from Russia was compensated by supplies from Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium.
The agency’s current scenario calculations assume that the daily average temperature will not fall below minus 13 degrees. But colder winters can increase gas consumption significantly. If the rest of Russian gas to Southeastern Europe is cut off and these countries face gas shortages, some of the gas will have to be supplied through Germany.
The agency also recalls the need to save gas, emphasizing that the European target to reduce consumption by 15% agreed by EU member states in summer 2022 remains in force.
In the words of EU representatives earlier, they saw this: unwillingness Reject Russian gas.
