Stocurile europene de gaze, la cel mai scăzut nivel din ultimii 13 ani. Scenariu sumbru la finalul iernii

Europe is facing its lowest natural gas stock levels in 13 years, raising concerns about supply tensions until 2027. As of October 30, EU gas storage was only 75% full, below the 80% minimum target. The International Energy Agency warns that by March 30, gas levels could drop below 10% under severe scenarios, exacerbated by geopolitical tensions and cold weather. Prices have surged past 100 euros per MWh, influenced by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and low storage levels. High energy costs are already impacting households and industries, with some reducing production due to rising gas prices.
