Underground gas storage facilities across Europe continue to be actively replenished following the end of the heating season. According to data from Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), by May 10, the filling level of European gas storage facilities reached 35.05%.

Based on GIE information, calculations made by TASS show that the total volume of gas stored in underground facilities across European countries amounts to approximately 35 billion cubic meters.

Gas injection into storage facilities has been ongoing since the start of the summer season in April. During this period, EU member states have ensured a net increase in reserves of more than 7 billion cubic meters. This refers to net injection, which is the difference between the volumes of gas injected and withdrawn.

European countries traditionally build up their reserves during the warmer months in preparation for the next autumn-winter period, aiming to minimize the risk of energy resource shortages.
