Versorgungssicherheit: So soll der „historisch niedrige“ Füllstand der Gasspeicher rasch erhöht werden
Die Betreiber der Erdgasspeicher wollen mit einem Eingriff in die Regulierung dafür sorgen, dass mehr Gas eingespeichert wird. Die Zeit drängt, das Wirtschaftsministerium bleibt zurückhaltend.
Berlin - The gas storage levels in Germany have been below average for several weeks. In an attempt to address this, a proposal has been made by the "Initiative for Energy Storage" (INES), which includes operators such as Sefe, Uniper, RWE, Trianel, EWE and VNG. The central element of the proposal is to temporarily waive the network charges for transporting gas to the storage facilities.
This would make gas purchasing for storage economically more attractive, as transport charges to the storage would be eliminated. The removal of network charges for transporting natural gas to the storage facilities would result in revenue losses for gas network operators. INES suggests that these operators should compensate for these losses by charging higher fees to other network users.
