The lack of Russian gas is expected to burden German taxpayers and gas consumers with additional costs of around five billion euros a year.
Some of these are to be passed on to energy suppliers and thus end customers in the form of a gas levy from October.
Corresponding information from WELT AM SONNTAG was confirmed by several industry representatives.
The Kremlin had stopped supplying Gazprom Germania by decree on May 11 after the German government confiscated all its assets.
Gazprom Germania now has to buy replacement volumes on the wholesale market at a high price in order to be able to continue to service its supply contracts with German municipal utilities and regional suppliers.
The issue is a supply shortfall of around ten million cubic meters per day.
Gazprom Germania, has had to pay an average of around 85 euros per megawatt hour of natural gas in purchases since mid-May. Before the war, prices of 20 to 30 euros were common.
This has so far resulted in costs of up to 9.7 million euros a day.
Gas prices had recently exceeded the 100-euro-per-megawatt threshold. Should this level become the new average, the trustee could also face procurement costs of more than eleven million euros per day.
Nevertheless, there is probably no alternative for energy security in the coming winter.
Germany running out of gas and money
Germans sniff russian brraps for fuel.
Even higher costs are incurred by filling the Rehden natural gas storage facility in Lower Saxony. Because Gazprom is not allowed to store anything there, the government terminated the storage contract with the Russians. Instead, THE is now to fill the storage facility. The law requires an 80 percent fill level by October 1. The procurement of the 3.1 billion cubic meters of gas required for this will cost around 2.5 billion euros at current prices. On November 1, the law even stipulates a filling level of 90 percent. This quantity is considered essential to get through the winter without major restrictions.
According to the Gas Storage Act, the gas buyer THE can pass on the costs to the so-called balancing group managers, i.e. regional suppliers and municipal utilities, from October.
THE will "set, publish and bill a new levy," the company confirmed when asked. The levy will probably be set for the first time for October 2022 and published six weeks beforehand, in August. The levy would be an increase in price. There is also the steadily rising CO2 tax on gas consumption.

How come leafs can be the funniest and most based anons and also the biggest bootlicking cucks?
They plan to keep increasing prices until there is a drop in demand and the amount of cars in the road
>YOU VILL DRIVE NOTHING. YOU VILL RENT ZE BICYCLE AND BE HAPPY.
At the moment, the biggest bootlicking cucks on this board are the

Leafs are much better posters
eastern provinces vs western provinces vs maritimes. You get different people in each.
i love those kinds of biscuits
What we mean by gas here is natural gas, not gasoline.
Because of retarded ideologies we have shut down all our nuclear reactors and are now almost completely dependent on Russian gas for energy.
As for the petrol prices, they are increasibg wildly but so far we do not have issues with supply.
Germany NOT ONLY are sending billions to Ukraine they're buying more expensive Russian fuel/gas/oil AND they're about to replace a lot of that Russian with something more expensive.
This war means the fall of EU and EU manufacturing that will get replaced by CHINA!
China is the biggest winner of this war and the next world leader.
We'll live in a Chinese empire thanks to the US letting China grow so much and now with their glow shenanigans in Ukraine.
Quick Hanz build more wind turbines!
Abominable but checked
Not my problem.
Why don't you go do something about it.
Go make a fund, or maybe crowdfund some money... cut trees to burn... oh wait, thats illegal and bad for the environment.
I dunno man, better start learning Russian.
I'm not going to defend europe in this state, and neither is anyone else.
It is your problem, where do you think your gas comes from?
Germany confiscating a literally dealer unit is peak Germany.
Its like confiscating a VW-vendor and then expecting VW to continue deliver cars as if it never happened. The stupidity of Germany is just mind-boggling.
Meanwhile, Germoney still refuses to class nuclear energy into the green category in order to create difficulties for France.
We think Germoney is right. Green transition cannot wait and we should immediately close all of our nuclear plants, reducing by 80% our production of energy and thus, stop our energy exports to Germoney so it adapts faster to the green world it craves for.
>But... but... Strom kommt aus der Dose und Gas kommt aus dem Rohr!
That's what appointing a children's books writer as you minister for energy and "climate protection" and an ex trampoline gymnast career student as your foreign minister gets you.
It is very sad.

This is how the world leaders think now. Everyone needs to live like the backwaters of Nigeria because muh equity and muh climate.
> german gas shortages
Miss me yet?
there is no lack of gas the providers just want more money because they can blame everything on Putin. My gas bill doubled despite being a loyal customer with a (until then) good contract those fucking bastards demand 10ct/m3 now.
But they can gas 6 million in the '40s while also fighting a war against the entire world?
Something doesn't add up.
