EU gas reserves drop below 63%, raising winter supply concerns
European Union gas reserves have fallen to below 63% capacity, the lowest level in over a decade, raising concerns about potential supply shortages during the upcoming winter months. This decline is attributed to prolonged closures of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical gas export route from the Middle East, and increased competition for liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports. Analysts warn that if the situation persists, Europe may need to offer higher prices to attract additional LNG supplies.
Key points
- EU gas reserves at 63% capacity, lowest in over a decade
