REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL on solidarity and certain aspects concerning gas storage based on Regulation (EU) 2017/1938 of the European Parliament and of the Council

Summary

The European Union faced risks to its gas supply security due to volatile prices, geopolitical tensions, and underfilled storage facilities, particularly after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In response, the EU implemented mandatory annual gas storage filling targets (90% from 2023) and required certification of storage system operators. These measures have helped stabilize gas prices and prevented a repeat of the 2021 scenario of intentional underfilling, with the certification process expected to be largely completed by the end of 2025.
