NATGAS: EU Gas Storage Injections Slow but Germany Over 90% Full

NATGAS

Net European gas storage injection rates in the week to August 4 have fallen but storage is still set to reach the pre winter target well ahead of schedule.  Despite the healthy gas stores the TTF market remains sensitive to upside risks from supply disruption and weather ahead of and through the upcoming winter season.

  • Net injections were 27.4% below normal last week with average rates of 2,501GWh/d in the week to Aug 4 compared to the five year average for the period of 3,447GWh/d.  Injections were 15.4% below average the previous week.
  • European gas in store is up to 85.97% full on Aug 4 according to GIE compared to the five year average of 77.3%.
  • Stores in Germany have today joined Portugal, Spain and Sweden over 90% full.
  • Injection rates have averaged 23.4% below the previous five year average since the start of April and a continuation at this rate would bring European storage up to the EU target of 90% by August 18.
  • Storage in Germany is at 223.3TWh (90.1% full), Italy at 176.2TWh (88.1%), Netherlands at 117.7TWh (81.7%), France at 103.2TWh (79.2%) and Austria at 87.85TWh (87.4%).
    • TTF SEP 24 up 3.4% at 36.7€/MWh
    • TTF WIN 24 up 2.1% at 39.85€/MWh
    • TTF SUM 25 up 2% at 38.6€/MWh
