According to the German Ministry of Economy, the inventory level of the four domestic gas storage depots is too low, and it will not be possible to meet the gas storage filling target until the heating season arrives. With the exception of Breitbrunn and Wolversberg, which have applied for retirement, Frankenthal and Inzenham West gas storage depots will not be able to meet the targets. The Ministry document is dated September 3. Greens MP Michael Kellner made it public on Tuesday evening. The German Ministry of Economy said that about a quarter of gas storage facilities have exceeded gas storage targets, and there is no indication that a gas supply crisis is imminent. The department estimates that Germany spent about 15 billion euros on gas imports in the first half of the year, an increase of 400 million euros over the previous year.
