Today, the Commission adopted intermediate targets that EU countries are required to meet in 2025 to ensure gas storage facilities are filled to at least 90% of capacity by 1 November 2025, as required by the EU Gas Storage Regulation (EU/2022/1032).
This amounts to about 100 bcm of gas in storage in the EU, representing around one third of the EU's annual gas consumption. Today, the Commission adopted intermediate targets that EU countries are required to meet in 2025 to ensure gas storage facilities are filled to at least 90% of capacity by 1 November 2025.
The implementing regulation defines targets for 1 February, 1 May, 1 July and 1 September 2025 for those EU countries with underground storage facilities on their territory and for EU countries that are connected through the gas network.
Each year since the introduction of the Regulation during the energy crisis, the EU has exceeded its gas storage filling target. This year, storage was around 95% by the deadline of 1 November. This amounts to about 100 bcm of gas in storage in the EU, representing around one third of the EU's annual gas consumption.
Since its adoption in June 2022, the Gas Storage Regulation has played a crucial role in ensuring availability of sufficient gas for the winter. Each year since the introduction of the Regulation during the energy crisis, the EU has exceeded its gas storage filling target. This year, storage was around 95% by the deadline of 1 November.
