In the coming months, Germany will need significantly larger volumes of gas to maintain security of electricity supply than initially assumed. The European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) had expected a monthly demand of up to 1.2 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas by the end of next year. However, 73 percent more will probably be needed, namely up to 2.1 bcm per month.
