Gazoni: Netherlands cannot meet storage goal

Gazpromi has warned that the Netherlands may not be able to achieve its target of filling gas inventories before winter, as the storage level has only reached 45%, the lowest in decades and below the five-year average of 73%. Although this does not directly threaten supply security, it reduces market flexibility and increases the risk of price fluctuations, especially given Europe's heavy reliance on Dutch gas as a major energy trading hub and supplier to neighboring countries, such as Germany, which imported more than 20% of its gas from the Netherlands last year.
