Bavaria Faces Gas Supply Strain from Low Storage LevelsBavarian gas storage averages 20.3%, nearly 10 points below national levels, raising winter 2026 supply concerns despite official reassurances.
- Gas storage facilities in Bavaria have significantly lower fill levels, averaging 20.3%, with some sites below 5 percent capacity.
- Bavaria's porous rock storage sites fill slowly and are less suited for rapid market adjustments, risking supply stability.
- Economic disincentives led to unbooked storage capacities and operators seeking to shut down key facilities.
- The Federal Network Agency is implementing precautionary steps amid ongoing political discussions about new storage models for summer refilling.
The low levels of the Bavarian storage facilities are a particular challenge for the gas system.— Sebastian Heinermann, Managing Director of the Initiative for Energy Storage (Ines), on the situation of gas storage in Bavaria.
