On November 1, German gas reserves amounted to only 61% of storage capacity, which is 9 percentage points below the government standard, writes Neu Zeitung. The main reason is the war with Iran, which caused a sharp increase in energy prices. In the summer, gas costs 40-60 euros per MWh, so the traders were in no hurry to fill the vaults in anticipation of a possible reduction in prices. However, the cost of gas recently exceeded 100 euros per MWh for the first time since 2022. According to the German Association of Gas Storage Operators INES, in severe frosts, Germany could face a shortage of up to 6.6 TWh of gas in January, February and March. Furthermore, the calculations already took into account supplies from neighboring countries and LNG imports. Experts emphasize that in normal winter weather, the gas supply will remain stable, but at very low temperatures, uninterrupted supply can no longer be guaranteed. Ostashko !
