- Klaus Müller, president of the Federal Network Agency, holds gas suppliers responsible and urges them to store enough gas for winter.
- LNG terminals could cover about 10 to 15 percent of Germany’s gas consumption in winter, while Müller says consumers should prepare for higher bills.
There is enough gas available. Therefore I cannot imagine that a gas supplier would tell its customers that there will not be enough gas in winter because it has not prepared adequately.— Klaus Müller, President of the Bundesnetzagentur, told t-online on Monday.
