Depletion of German gas stores slowed due to mild winter Temperatures this winter have been relatively mild, slowing the depletion of gas stores in Germany, which are nonetheless at a historically low level, said gas storage operators association INES.

Depletion of German gas stores slowed due to mild winter

Germany started the heating season with levels at 76 percent, which had dropped to 57 percent by the start of 2026 – 23 percentage points below the previous year.

Recent Developments in Natural Gas and LNG Sector Highlight Complex Interplay of Infrastructure Changes, Investment Shifts, Production Trends, and Geopolitical Considerations Recent developments in the natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector are highlighting significant shifts in energy strategies across various nations. From Germany's accelerated investment in LNG terminals to the United States' emergence as a vital transit hub for European supply, the industry is navigating complex interplay of infrastructure changes, production trends, investment activity, and geopolitical considerations. With several major players, including Saudi Aramco, ExxonMobil, Shell, and Ithaca Energy, playing a significant role in reshaping the sector, these developments are likely to have far-reaching implications for global energy markets and trade relationships.

EnergyPathways shares plunge 46% after gas storage licence rejection Investing.com -- Shares of energy transition firm EnergyPathways (LON:EPP) plunged nearly 46% on Thursday after the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) declined to grant the company a gas storage licence. The rejection affects only the natural gas and hydrogen storage elements of the company’s MESH project, according to EnergyPathways. The MESH project is a large-scale energy storage hub in the UK designed to store natural gas, hydrogen, and compressed air. EnergyPathways stated it will review resubmission of its licence application to the NSTA. This article was generated with the support of AI and reviewed by an editor.

MET Group Expands German Gas Storage Footprint with KGE Acquisition MET Group Expands German Gas Storage Footprint with KGE Acquisition Swiss energy group MET Group has significantly expanded its presence in the German natural gas market. The company has finalized the acquisition of 100% of KGE, a gas storage operator located in Gronau, North Rhine-Westphalia. KGE's storage facilities possess a working gas volume of 179 million cubic meters, and are connected to Open Grid Europe’s infrastructure. Prior to the acquisition, KGE was jointly owned by EWMR, DEW21 from Dortmund, Stadtwerke Essen, Gelsenwasser AG, and MET Holding Germany. This transaction marks a major shift in ownership for the company. MET Group already manages gas storage facilities in Germany, including sites at Etzel in Lower Saxony and Reckrod in Hesse. The addition of KGE further strengthens MET’s position as a key player in Germany’s gas storage sector.

Gas storage Ensuring shared gas storage capacities in the EU is crucial to guarantee security of energy supply.

#GasStorage provides 25-30% of gas consumed in the EU during winter ❄️. It reduces the need to import additional gas and contributes to absorbing supply shocks.

Today's level is at 49%, fully in line with the reference 5-year average pre-crisis.
