Europe's Gas Storage Levels Threaten Supply Ahead of Winter
Natural gas storage facilities across Europe are currently at 60.8% capacity, raising concerns over the continent's supply ahead of winter.
The levels remain below historical averages and are lagging behind the pace needed to comfortably reach pre-winter targets, according to Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE).
Warm weather in Southern and Central Europe is hindering efforts to replenish storage facilities as higher temperatures increase demand for gas-fired power plants.
Natural gas futures prices in Europe are rising, with the price at the Dutch TTF hub reaching €62.26 per megawatt-hour.
