BERLIN (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 15th October, 2021) German Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Peter Altmaier stressed on Friday that Germany is not dependent on a certain gas supplier and warned pipeline gas suppliers that unfair pricing policies can force consumers to switch to other sources, including liquefied natural gas (LNG).
"We will do everything we can to prevent it (dependence on one supplier).
It is always possible to switch to LNG, many European countries have big terminals," Altmaier said at a press conference.
"Those who supply us with gas through pipelines should also know that as a result of an unfair increase in prices, ... sources of supply may change," the minister warned.
Germany's gas storage facilities are currently 75% full, which exceeds the level seen in 2015 when this volume was sufficient for the whole winter, Altmaier added.
