MNI BRIEF: Brussels Preparing For All Gas Supply Scenarios

(MNI) Brussels

The EU Commission is preparing for all gas supply scenarios for this winter, a Commission spokesperson said Monday, as reports of further gas pipeline shutdowns by Russia’s Gazprom circulated.

“We know gas supply is being weaponised,” the official said, but noted that the latest shutdown could be as a result of legitina and necessary maintenance work.

Emphasising the importance of energy savings as a key pillar of the REPowerEU plan, the official said that the “Winter Preparedness” plan would be unveiled in mid-July. “There will be more of a focus on industrial users (in the plan),” he said, noting that the plan would aim to coordinate actions between states to save gas and also issue guidance.
