Germany's energy regulator has called on citizens to save more gas as temperatures dropped below 0 degrees Celsius in large parts of the country.
According to them, families should reduce gas consumption by 20 percent to avoid shortages in the coming months.
"Currently, the total savings is only 13 percent. It is important that we do not give up on our savings efforts and maintain them throughout the winter," said the head of the Federal Network Agency, Klaus Muller.
Germany is facing a severe energy crisis due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, which has led to disruptions in gas supplies and driven energy prices to record levels.
Although the country has managed to fill gas storage capacity to 95 percent since last week, experts warn that this does not guarantee that there will be no gas rationing or power outages in the cold winter months.
Storage facilities also need a constant flow of gas from pipelines to maintain sufficient pressure.
The Nord Stream I pipeline, the main source of Russian gas in Germany, was destroyed after an explosion in September, and the country currently does not import gas from Russia.
Before the start of the war in Ukraine, Russia supplied 55% of Germany's natural gas.
The German government is trying to diversify its natural gas supply sources by buying more gas from Norway and increasing imports via pipelines from Belgium and the Netherlands.
To get enough liquefied natural gas to completely replace Russian gas in the coming years, Berlin is also building LNG terminals in the northern German ports of Brunsbuttel, Wilhelmshaven, Stade and Lubmin. /AA/
