-> Status of the gas shortage in Germany
Does the Federal Government share the questioners' view that none of the seven indicators of the Gas Emergency Plan currently justify maintaining the alert level and that the alert level can be ended (please explain)?
Which of the seven indicators set in the Gas Emergency Plan justify, in the Federal Government's opinion, maintaining the alert level of the Gas Emergency Plan?
As a result of the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, significant quantities of gas are still unavailable in Germany and Europe due to the termination of deliveries via Nord Stream. Import volumes have fallen significantly since 2022. Due to the expected termination of the Ukraine transit at the end of the year, further gas volumes will be missing from the European market in Central and Eastern Europe, which could also have an impact on supplies in Germany. Depending on the weather conditions in winter and the geopolitical situation, a shortage of supplies cannot be ruled out. The International Energy Agency warns in its latest report that the situation on the gas markets is still tense.
