NATGAS

An extremely cold winter could still pose a challenge fpr German gas supply, with demand curtailments necessary despite current healthy storage levels, German gas association INES said, cited by Platts.

  • Storage could be completely emptied by the start of Feb. 2025 in case of a harsh winter, INES said.
  • "We are not out of the woods yet. The security of gas supply that we were used to before the energy crisis has not yet been fully restored in Germany," Sebastian Heinermann, INES' managing Director said.
  • If temperatures remain normal-warm, storage facilities could be emptied to a filing level of 35%-69% by the end of winter in April 2025.
