Germany's gas storage facilities are currently 64% full, and the country has managed to avoid energy shortages this winter, but there is a risk of a gas shortage next winter, Klaus Mueller, the head of Germany's Federal Network Agency, warns. He said that risk factors include a very cold winter in 2023/24, households and companies saving too little, and the LNG terminals not working as planned. Furthermore, he pointed out the absence of Russia’s energy supplies, which made it possible for the country to fill up storage tanks in preparation for the heating season last year, as another risk factor.
