German gas storage facilities were more than 75 percent full last Friday, two weeks ahead of target, according to data from the European operators' group GIE. Germany has 23.3 billion cubic meters (bcm) of underground gas storage, just over a fifth of the 100 bcm of gas used in 2021. Germany is therefore in the second phase of a three-phase emergency plan created after the start of the war in Ukraine, which cut gas cuts from its main supplier, Russia.
