Gas reserves over half full at end of heating season after fall in usage

As the current heating season comes to an end Czech reserves of gas are more than half full, Czech Television reported on Sunday. Consumers in Czechia used one-fifth less gas year-on-year in 2022, the lowest amount in eight years.

Usage levels were impacted by high prices and uncertainty stemming from Russia’s war on Ukraine, while the relatively mild winter has also been a factor.

Czechia now gets most of its gas from Norway and LNG terminals, Czech TV said.
