Europe faces potential gas shortages this winter
The article discusses the potential risks of a gas crisis in Europe during the upcoming winter, due to declining storage levels and weak global supplies. The competition for liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments from Asia has resumed, and demand has increased, especially since new supplies are not expected to arrive until 2027. Analyses indicate that ongoing disruptions in navigation through the Strait of Hormuz — a key passage for a significant portion of gas supplies — threaten to worsen the crisis. Continued restrictions or delays could cause European inventories to fall below 70%, putting upward pressure on prices and making the market more vulnerable to price surges. Although Europe has strengthened its infrastructure and reduced dependence on single sources, geopolitical factors and tensions still pose risks to gas supply security. It is also anticipated that a global surplus may develop after 2028, provided that the political situation remains stable and projects are completed on schedule.
