GAS STORAGE AT HISTORIC LOW

BERLIN, NOVEMBER 10 /SRNA-RIA Novosti/ – Germany has entered winter with record-low levels of gas in storage, putting the security of supply at risk if the weather turns colder, the gas storage operators' association INES said.

"Germany entered the 2026/2027 heating season with historically low gas storage levels. As of November 1, storage facilities were only 61 percent full, nine percentage points below the 70 percent target," INES said in a statement.

The statement cited insufficient economic incentives and heavy withdrawals during the season as the main reasons for the drop in storage levels.
