The German government said on Friday that gas operators were actively filling storage facilities, citing improved price dynamics and weaker competition from Asia for liquefied natural gas cargoes. German gas storage sites were 51.64% full, an economy ministry spokesperson told a press conference, adding that operators had injected significant volumes in recent days.
The update comes ahead of winter, with Europe seeking to reduce dependence on volatile spot markets amid the re-escalation in West Asia. Germany has been diversifying LNG imports and accelerating storage mandates after the 2022 energy crisis.
