Germany failed to stock up on enough fuel before winter set in. Germany enters winter with gas reserves well below target levels. The Financial Times (FT) writes about it. According to media reports, gas storage facilities in Germany are now about 62% full, well below the legal figure of 80% set for infrastructure operators before the start of the heating season. At the same time, the entire European Union will enter the winter with gas reserves that are significantly lower than historical norms. Thus, storage facilities across the block are less than 75% full. Germany is the largest gas consumer in the European Union and has the largest storage facilities, so Germany's need to purchase gas may lead to an increase in prices for other countries, they wrote in the media.
