- Czech gas storage facilities were nearly 70% full at the start of September, meeting the European Union’s interim target for the period.

- The Czech Industry Ministry said supplies should still be sufficient for the coming winter.
Czech gas storage facilities were almost 70% full at the beginning of September, allowing the country to meet the European Union’s interim target for that point in the year.
The level nevertheless remains about one-fifth below last year’s figure. Storage facilities across Europe have been filling more slowly, leaving the continent behind the Czech Republic.
Despite the slower pace, the Czech Industry Ministry said there should be enough gas for the coming winter.
