Germany’s storage facilities are currently at around 56% capacity, above the storage levels in the same period last year, Habeck said.
“The missing quantities can still be replaced, and the gas storage tanks are still being filled, albeit at high prices. Security of supply is currently guaranteed but the situation is serious,” he added.
