Bonn The gas storage facilities in Germany are a little less full than previously thought. The Federal Network Agency announced on Wednesday that the total storage status is currently 64.6 percent, which is 0.3 percentage points lower than specified on Tuesday. The reason for this is not the withdrawal of gas, but a correction of the information on the amount of injections in the period from July 7th to 11th.
Even after Russian gas deliveries through the Baltic Sea pipeline Nord Stream 1 were stopped due to maintenance work, gas is currently still being stored net, emphasized a spokesman for the authorities. “But that’s at a very low level.”
Since Monday, no more gas has been delivered via Nord Stream 1, the last most important route for Russian natural gas to Germany. According to the operating company, the work should last until July 21. In Germany there is concern that the pipeline will not be put back into operation after the maintenance work and that gas will run out in winter.
