We can overcome any crisis with unity and solidarity.
Everyone has contributed to cutting our gas consumption by 18%, well above our target of 15% set last July. This has helped us get through the winter safely.

We reduced our dependency on Russian gas by three-quarters.
We have diversified our supply by working with reliable partners, such as Norway and the US to fill our gas storage up to 95% ahead of last winter.
