> Germany’s gas storage facilities are only 49% full, down from 67% at the same time last year, the Association of Gas Storage Operators said. It called the level the lowest recorded for this time of year since 2011 and warned that even booked capacity might not cover demand during an exceptionally cold winter. The Economy Ministry does not expect a shortage but is preparing options if conditions worsen.
