> EU gas storage facilities were 75% full at the end of October, below the mandatory 80% threshold and the lowest level in 13 years, Il Sole 24 Ore reported, citing the IEA. The report attributes low reserves to the Strait of Hormuz situation and maritime shipping disruptions, warning that Europe may struggle to get through the heating season without interruptions. Italy’s storage was 95% full, while many other European countries remained below the EU requirement.
