🇩🇪 Germany urgently increases gas reserves ahead of winter

Economics Minister Katherina Reiche has instructed the state-owned energy company SEFE to procure a further 8 TWh of natural gas by December 15 and store it in storage facilities. The decision was made in coordination with Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

The reason is the comparatively low level of Germany’s gas storage facilities ahead of the heating season: With a total capacity of around 247 TWh, they are only slightly more than half full. Reiche also called on private energy companies to buy more gas.
