Energie: Deutschland sichert sich Gas für den Winter für 245 Millionen Euro
Deutschlands Gasspeicher sind deutlich leerer als vor einem Jahr. Zusätzliche Liefervereinbarungen kosten rund 107 Millionen und sollen die Versorgung im Winter 2027 absichern.
Berlin - In response to significantly lower gas storage levels compared to the previous year, Germany has secured additional gas supplies for the upcoming winter. The special tenders for securing supply in February and March 2027 alone cost around 107 million euros, Trading Hub Europe (THE) informed Reuters in response to a query on Friday.
This is in addition to approximately 137 million euros for regular tenders, through which THE, like every year, secures gas supplies for potential network bottlenecks. In total, the costs for maintaining these supplies amount to nearly 245 million euros. The awards for the tenders were granted on Friday. As of October 21st, German gas storage levels stood at only 61.1 percent, compared to 75.4 percent at the same time the previous year.
These additional tenders are linked to efforts by Economy Minister Katharina Reiche (CDU) to enhance supply security in light of low storage levels.
