What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

As of mid-September 2026, Germany held approximately 141 terawatt-hours of gas, which represents about 57% of the country's total storage capacity. While this level is reassuring given the cold previous winter, storage levels are low compared to prior years. The Federal Network Agency monitors the country's electricity and gas networks during this period of import diversification.

However, experts interviewed by DW are generally not concerned about the winter gas supply, citing medium-term contracts and the country's reduced dependence on a single importer since 2022.

Germany is currently testing new systems to counter Russian threats.
