The German gas reservoirs have reached the lowest level at this time of year since the beginning of the records. Industry representatives consider sufficient filling to be "physically no longer possible" until winter. The Ministry of Economic Affairs of Katherina Reiche nevertheless sees no reason to worry.
Winter is approaching, the German gas stores are only half filled – and prices are rising rapidly. The Ministry of Economics is trying to dispel all worries. But what if it is wrong?
The situation of the German gas supply is better than it seems, but no one knows if it will stay that way.
Because gas is expensive at the moment, little is stored in Germany. Although the memory is at least 50 percent filled - and until it gets really cold, it still takes time. To reach the target of at least 70 percent, however, it takes a lot of effort.
Germany's gas storage systems are as empty as ever since the beginning of the records. The industry association Ines warns of risks in extreme cold. Despite the historical lows, the Federal Government currently sees no danger of gas shortages in winter.
