German Minister of Economy and Energy Katerina Reiche instructed the state-owned company Sefe (formerly Gazprom Germania GmbH) to increase the injection of gas into underground storage facilities. The measure is associated with the low level of gas reserves of Germany. This is reported by Handelsblatt and Tagesschau.
The decision was agreed with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. At the moment, the level of gas reserves in German storage facilities is just under 58%, Tagesschau notes. Last year, the figure was about 77%, in previous years - 90% and above.
On September 25, the European Commission called on European countries to reduce gas and electricity consumption in order to reduce prices during the energy crisis. The situation has escalated due to supply disruptions following the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East.
