The German government has rejected Italy's accusations regarding gas storage levels, calling them unfounded. A spokesperson emphasized that Germany's gas purchasing does not drive up European prices. They assured that gas storage levels are adequate for winter, even in extreme cold. Germany has access to alternatives like LNG and a well-integrated gas network. Italy had claimed that Germany delayed filling gas reserves to lower costs for companies before privatization, which Germany denied. Despite lower storage levels than legally required, Germany confirmed gas supply security for the upcoming winter.
