The underground gas storage facility in Heidach near Salzburg is the second largest in Central Europe. It may have a quarter of Austria’s annual gas supply.
Russian gas monopoly Gazprom does not fill Austrian Haidach’s largest underground gas storage facility with gas. As a result, anxiety may disappear. Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer said this after talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ukrinform reports on Saturday, May 28.
“On the issue of gas, it was raised by Putin – that all deliveries will be fully carried out. I instructed him that if Gazprom does not use the storage in Gaidakh, it will lose it, and transfer it to the use of other suppliers, ”Negammer said.

According to Austrian media, the storage facility, owned by Russian company Gazprom, is still empty. At the same time, it should store a strategic reserve that Austria needs in the event of a possible cessation of gas supplies.
Earlier, Germany removed Gazprom from the country’s largest UGS facility Rehden with a volume of 4 billion cubic meters. Then in Russia they complained about the “forced” filling of this gas storage.
