Gas storage

Gas storage (available storage capacity (Twh) and filling rate)

The implementation of the new gas storage regulation was helped by a mild winter and successful curbs on gas consumption (see Figure 3 below), resulting in the EU comfortably exceeding its target of 80 % storage capacity filled in before the onset of winter. In fact, the vast majority of EU countries with storage capacities had these filled at over 90 % by early December 2022, ensuring no problems with gas supplies during the winter season.
