France Starts Exporting Gas to Germany Amid Energy Crisis
As Berlin works to diversify its energy supply in the wake of the suspension of Russian gas deliveries, French gas network operator GRTgaz announced that France has begun sending natural gas to Germany for the first time.
GRTgaz reported that an initial daily capacity of 31 gigawatt-hours has started to be delivered by the gas pipeline that connects the two nations at the French border village of Obergailbach.
According to data from the French Ministry for Energy Transition, the amount is anticipated to eventually rise to a daily maximum of 100 gigawatt-hours, or less than 2% of Germany's total gas consumption.
Officials claim that even though Germany's gas storage facilities are currently almost 95% full, residents will still need to conserve gas this winter.
