Regeringen bedömer gasförsörjningen som trygg

Näringsdepartementet ser inget hot mot försörjningstryggheten trots låga gaslagernivåer. De nuvarande nivåerna ligger på cirka 28 procent.

Statssekreterare Frank Wetzel uppgav som svar på en förfrågan från De gröna att bedömningen av försörjningsläget inte enbart bygger på enskilda lagernivåer. Det finns inga tecken på en dysfunktionell marknad.Gaslagernivåerna har legat i den lägre delen av flerårsgenomsnittet i månader. Experter tvivlar på om de lagstadgade målen på 80 procent till den 1 oktober och 90 procent till den 1 november kan uppnås.Näringsminister Katherina Reiche hanterar frågan försiktigt. Bakgrunden är oron för att statliga tillkännagivanden om att fylla lagren skulle kunna driva upp priserna.
