Reduced gas supply from Russia is about to force Berlin to take additional measures to secure energy reserves, including providing a loan worth billions of euros and organizing a “gas auction” for German industrial consumers, the news agency dpa reported on Sunday, citing a policy paper by the Economy Ministry it had obtained.
Germany must further reduce gas consumption and store more gas unless it wants to face “really hard” times this winter, Economy Minister Robert Habeck warned in the five-page document, according to dpa.
The Economy Ministry believes that the gas shortfall due to the reduced supplies from Russia can still be replaced and the nation’s storages can be filled in time, although at higher prices. Yet, gas consumption, including in the energy sector, should be reduced for the storage tanks to be filled, the document cited by dpa adds.
