Germany reaches October gas storage target despite extended Nord Stream 1 halt

Germany’s gas storage facilities on Friday reached the October goal of 85% despite of the extended halt of the main pipeline delivering gas from Russia to
Germany, industry data from European operators group GIE showed on Saturday.
The storage levels are already at 85.02%, suggesting that the companies and citizens in Europe’s biggest economy are heeding the government’s plea to save gas to get it through the winter in light of reduced Russian gas imports.
In July, the government unveiled new energy-saving measures and tightened its gas storage targets, fearing that persistently low Russian gas supplies could lead to winter shortages.
