Germany's natural gas storage facilities are almost 85% full

Berlin, July 21 (ČTK correspondent) – German natural gas storage facilities are almost 85 percent full. Germany is therefore managing to store gas for the coming winter even without Russian supplies of the commodity. The Federal Network Agency, which serves as the network regulator, warns, however, that economical consumption will be essential this coming winter, just as it was last winter.

„Gas supplies to Germany are stable. Security of supply is assured,“ said the Federal Network Agency, adding that as of 20.

July, German storage facilities were 84.67 percent full. German gas storage facilities were at that level at the beginning of last September. The higher current level of storage is due, however, to the fact that Germany’s storage facilities remained 63 percent full after the warm winter.

„A gas shortage was avoided last winter. Preparing for the winter of 2023/24 nevertheless remains a key task. Economical gas consumption therefore remains important,“ the agency said.
