Overview

• Germany has reverted its emergency gas plan from the alarm stage to the early warning stage as of July 1, 2025.
• Minister Reiche said that new LNG terminals and broadened supply routes have removed the need for heightened measures.
• The plan’s three levels designate early warning, alarm and emergency stages, with full state intervention reserved for market failures.
• Since June 2022, Germany has mandated high storage fill levels and expanded its gas import infrastructure to reduce reliance on Russian deliveries.
• Gas prices have stabilized and current storage levels support supply security, with ongoing intensive monitoring guiding market-based responses.
