The filling level of the German gas storage facilities remains stable. According to preliminary data from the European gas storage association GIE, the storage facilities were almost two-thirds full on Tuesday morning.
The total filling level of the German storage was therefore 64.53 percent. That was 0.12 percentage points more than the previous day and 0.4 percentage points more than on Tuesday last week.
The lowest fill level of the current year so far was recorded on March 17 at 63.67 percent. A year earlier, on March 17, 2022, German storage facilities were only 24.56 percent full.
The largest German storage facility in Rehden, Lower Saxony, which was controlled by the Russian state-owned company Gazprom until the beginning of April 2022, was 80.68 percent full on Tuesday morning. EU-wide the fill level was 55.98 percent. That was 0.13 points more than the day before.
It should be noted that, in addition to being withdrawn from the storage facilities, gas continues to flow to Germany through pipeline imports. On Tuesday, according to the Federal Network Agency, Germany received natural gas from Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium and via new LNG terminals on the German coasts. Three special ships are now in use there, which bring the deep-frozen, liquefied natural gas back into a gaseous state and then feed it into the transmission network.
