Gas storage in the EU is now at more than 90%.

It was 30% in February, and since then we have been working with EU countries to increase Europe’s energy reserves.

Good news: we have already reduced our gas consumption by about 10% but more can still be done.

We have compensated for this reduction by increasing imports of LNG and pipeline gas, mainly from our reliable suppliers like the US and Norway.
