Germany’s gas storage facilities are filling up faster than planned, providing some hope amid fears of chronic shortages this winter due to a reduction in supplies from Russia, economy minister Robert Habeck says.
“The reservoirs are filling up faster than specified,” Habeck told Der Spiegel magazine in an article published on Aug. 28. He noted that the government expects that it could reach its target of 85 percent capacity by September, a month earlier than the original goal of October.
