Gas storage tanks full ahead of winter

Gas storage tanks in Czechia are 99.9 percent full, with 3.455 billion cubic metres of natural gas, Industry and Trade Minister Jozef Síkela announced on Thursday, saying the country had a record amount of gas at its disposal for the coming winter. According to the minister, the storage tanks are full also due to lower consumption. In the first nine months of 2023 Czechs saved 700 million cubic meters of gas compared to last year.
