Injections into European gas storage fell further below normal last week but gas in store is still on course to reach EU pre winter target levels by September.

  • Net injections were 44.5% below the previous five year average levels in the week to June 9 compared to an average of 32% below since the start of the injection season.
  • Net injections averaged 2,136GWh/d in the week to June 9 compared to the five year average for the period of just over 3,850GWh/d.
  • An injection rate holding at 70% of the previous five year average over the remaining summer months would bring storage up to the EU target of 90% around the end of the first week of September.
