The EU has reduced the injection of gas into underground storage facilities to a minimum since April

The volume of gas injection into underground storage facilities (UGS) in the European Union fell to a minimum since April 2023 against the backdrop of hot weather in the region and weak wind farm (WPP) output. This is evidenced by Vedomosti’s calculations based on data from the association of European storage operators Gas Infrastructure Europe.

Last week (latest data available June 24) injection averaged 248.1 million cubic meters. m per day. This is 24% lower than the daily average in June 2022 and 21% lower than in May this year. The minimum level of injection last week was recorded on June 22 – 226.5 million cubic meters. m. The last time the intensity of gas injection into underground gas storage facilities was even lower on April 26 and 27, then the reserves increased by 106.6 million and 188.5 million cubic meters. m respectively.
