  • Germany is replenishing its gas stocks more quickly than expected despite drastic Russian supply cuts and should meet an October target early, the government said Sunday (28 August).
  • Europe’s largest economy is heavily dependent on Russian gas and has raced to bolster its reserves before winter after deliveries from Russia plummeted following the outbreak of war in Ukraine.
  • To avert the risk of energy shortages, Berlin in July set a series of goals so that gas stocks reached 95% of capacity by November.
