Germany Banking on Higher LNG Import Capacity Next Winter

Germany will be in a different situation next winter because it will have more gas import capacity available according to Economy Minister Robert Habeck.

• "Next winter, we have another situation, I would strongly argue, because then ... we (will) have additional gas capacity, so I don't know what the situation in France would be, but on the gas side we definitely have another situation." he said.
• The main problem for electricity supply is the failure of nuclear power plants in France," he said adding Germany was ready to use its nuclear power plants if required.
