After winter is before winter: The President of the Federal Network Agency, Klaus Müller, assumes that he will be able to start with full natural gas storage facilities in the coming winter of 2023/24. “We are now coming out of the winter with relatively full storage facilities. That will help fill the storage facilities over the summer without Russian pipeline gas,” said Müller. From April onwards, more gas is usually injected than withdrawn. The storage facilities compensate for fluctuations in gas consumption and thus form a buffer system for the market. On the morning of November 14, 2022, a filling level of 100 percent was recorded. In winter, the fill levels usually decrease. Russia stopped supplying natural gas to Germany at the end of August 2022. “We will also need full storage for next winter. If next winter gets significantly colder, we will also need significantly more gas.” He describes the filling of the storage tank last year as a “great success”.
