It is good that they are approaching their goals, but the fact remains, storage is intended to meet the seasonal winter rise in demand, along with the stable supply of pipeline gas as a baseline. Without the baseline of ongoing supply, storage cannot maintain the economy by itself for very long. LNG supplies are increasing but are a small part of the picture for this year at least. A cold winter will be difficult for Europe.
The storage was meant as a BACKUP to the regular inflows from Russian pipelines - not as a replacement.
So, they have 93 percent of 20 percent of their needs.
Germany is getting piped nat gas from Norway, Belgium and Netherlands.
