România are depozitele de gaze la 68%, sub ținta de 84% pentru 1 septembrie

Europe faces a challenging winter with low gas storage levels and high prices, potentially exceeding 100 euros/MWh. Romania's gas reserves are also below previous years, despite higher domestic production. Analysts warn that if LNG exports from the Middle East remain disrupted, prices could rise significantly. The EU's gas storage is currently at 63%, down from 76% last year, due to increased consumption and reduced production. Romania's storage is at 68%, below the required levels, prompting government action to boost injections. The situation is compounded by geopolitical tensions affecting LNG supply, particularly from Qatar.
