European gas reserves are above seasonal levels, at about 66% full, and some expect storage to be full by August, before the start of the heating season. Meanwhile, low prices haven’t lived up to industrial demand, and some consumers are putting off buying gas until prices drop.
“If this continues, we will be full early in the summer, in September or October, and then everything depends on how early the winter starts,” said György Varga, chief executive officer of the Swiss trading company MET International.
Recall that at the end of April, the European Union started the process of joint purchase of AggregateEUgas, in which Ukraine may also be involved.
