Germany's gas storage facilities are unusually empty, with fill levels reaching a historic low of 61% as of November 1, 2026. Operators and associations like INES warn that this could lead to supply bottlenecks and shortages during an extremely cold winter. They call for changes in thinking and government measures to address the issue. The low fill levels follow heavy withdrawals last winter and weak economic incentives, and seasonal withdrawals have already begun in October.
