🔶 Warning to the operators of the German gas reserves: only 59% of the reserves are full.
The association "Initiative Energy Storage" (INES) expressed concern about the low level of gas reserves in Germany.
According to the new calculations and models of this association, there may be a natural gas shortage of up to 6.6 terawatt hours in the months of January, February and March 2027. This amount is roughly equal to the gas consumption of Germany in a winter day and a half.
On some January days, in case of severe cold, the amount of gas shortage may even reach 1.7 terawatt hours; A figure equal to about 40% of the average daily gas consumption in January 2026.
