>_Despite reduced supplies from Russia, German gas storage facilities are again more than three quarters full. The first mark was thus reached more than two weeks earlier. One reason is lower consumption._
>The first gas storage target of the new EU regulation has been reached more than two weeks early: Despite significantly reduced supply volumes from Russia for weeks, German gas storage facilities are once again more than 75 percent full. According to preliminary data from European gas storage operators on Saturday evening, the fill level on Friday morning was 75.43 percent. The fill level is always reported with a delay.
>The regulation stipulates that German storage facilities must be at least 75 percent full on September 1. On October 1, it is to be at least 85 percent, and on November 1, at least 95 percent. The storage facilities compensate for fluctuations in gas consumption and thus form a kind of buffer system for the gas market. If storage continues at the same rate as recently, the 85 percent mark should be reached before October 1.
>The German government is taking various measures to ensure that gas storage facilities in Germany are almost full at the start of the heating season. In this way, Germany should be better prepared should there be a total loss of Russian supplies in the winter. The volume of gas stored at a level of 95 percent is roughly equivalent to nationwide consumption in January and February 2022.
>According to storage association Ines, the current strong storage levels are made possible primarily by low consumption in summer and strong imports from northwestern Europe.

This energy crunch as shown how little as been achieved in terms of renewable
The shift from corporate / political responsibility to an individual one is the greatest disinformation of this century.
