UE va fi capabilă să satisfacă cererea de gaze naturale din timul iernii, în ciuda stocurilor extrem de scăzute, susține ENTSOG - Economica.net

The EU can meet winter gas demand, but current storage levels are historically low, requiring close monitoring. ENTSOG reported that underground gas storage was only 72% full as of October 1, with significant regional disparities. France's storage is at 85%, while Germany's is at 59%. Continued filling of gas storage and maintaining LNG supplies are crucial to meet demand. Limited LNG availability could lead to storage levels dropping below 30% by winter's end, increasing vulnerability to late cold spells. The European Commission noted no immediate supply risks but warned of potentially high prices this winter due to geopolitical tensions. The EU aims to reduce reliance on Russian gas, with a ban on imports planned for 2027.
