Energy: "The minister can't let this run": Gas storage level puts Reiche under pressure

Germany's gas storage facilities are filling up slowly, making it unlikely to meet the legally required levels by the start of the heating season. The storage level is currently at 50%, significantly lower than the usual values at this time of year, and far from the target of 71% by November 1. Experts, including Michael Kellner of the Green party and Tobias Paulun, CEO of the European Energy Exchange (EEX), warn that relying solely on market forces may not ensure a secure gas supply, and that government intervention may be necessary to prevent a shortage.
