The expert, who knows the German gas market like no other, does not want to be quoted or recognized in any way. And he is not considered an alarmist either. But he says:

Everyone in the industry is now praying for warm weather.

Anyone who takes a look at Germany’s gas storage levels can understand why. While Germany continues to make its way through the winter shudders, the gas storage levels drop every day. The filling level is currently only 24 percent on average, Bavaria only manages to reach just under 18 percent. The south is particularly affected because there are not that many storage facilities there, but there is a lot of industry that requires a lot of gas.
