The European Commission has recommended that EU member states begin refilling gas storage in anticipation of next winter, while easing the storage targets established in 2022.
New targets set by the Commission fall below the 90% threshold previously mandated, reflecting a strategic adjustment in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly related to the Iran conflict.
This decision aims to stabilize the market and prevent panic buying, ensuring that gas supplies remain secure as the region navigates uncertain energy dynamics.
