German gas storage levels – August 2026
The current gas storage level in Germany stands at 51.95 percent in August 2026 (as of August 27, 2026). Germany's natural gas storage facilities are in the injection season: from April to October, gas is put into storage to secure the heating season. They are currently about 52 percent full. The data comes from AGSI+ (Aggregated Gas Storage Inventory), the European transparency platform operated by Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE). Compared with last year, the fill level is 17.7 percentage points below the value on the same date.
Gasspeicher.app shows the fill level of gas storage in Germany and more than 20 other countries, updated daily. The data is drawn directly from the GIE AGSI+ platform – the same source used by Germany's Federal Network Agency and the storage association INES for their own analyses.
How full is gas storage in Germany?
“How full is gas storage?” is one of the most searched energy questions in Germany. Gasspeicher.app answers it with a five-level traffic-light scale. Right now the scale shows “moderate” 🟡 at a fill level of 51.95 percent.
The current German storage level depends on several factors: outside temperatures, industrial demand, import volumes via pipelines and LNG terminals, and spot-market gas prices.
Gas storage levels now: injection season 2026
The current gas storage level is watched closely during the injection season, because this is when it is decided how much of a buffer Germany takes into the 2026/2027 winter. On gasspeicher.app you can follow the trend with daily values, a 7-day average and a history chart. The data is updated daily at around 19:30 CET.
Injection season 2026: how full will storage get before winter?
How far storage sites are filled before the 2026/2027 winter depends on the pace of injection over the coming weeks. The key drivers are spot-market gas prices, import volumes via pipelines and LNG terminals, and industrial demand. Germany's Gas Storage Act (GasSpFüllstV) sets target fill levels for the start of the heating season; if storage falls short, additional procurement measures kick in.
German gas storage levels in August 2026 – below last year
In August 2026, the German gas storage level stands at 51.95 percent. August 2024: approx. 94.8 %, August 2025: approx. 69.6 %, August 2026: approx. 52.0 %. Follow the daily trend on gasspeicher.app with automatic alerts at critical thresholds.
How the gas storage app works
Gasspeicher.app gives you the fill level at a glance: daily values with a trend indicator, history charts over 30, 60 and 90 days, 7-day statistics, custom alerts when levels cross your own thresholds, and a traffic-light scale for quick orientation.
The traffic-light scale
| Fill level | Light | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| 80–100 % | 🟢 Green | Very good |
| 60–80 % | 🟢 Light green | Good |
| 40–60 % | 🟡 Yellow | Moderate |
| 25–40 % | 🟠 Orange | Low |
| 0–25 % | 🔴 Red | Critical |
Gas storage in Europe – AGSI+ levels by country
The AGSI+ data for Europe shows the fill levels of all European gas storage facilities at a glance. Gasspeicher.app covers more than 20 countries – from Germany and Austria through the Netherlands, France and Italy to the storage sites of Eastern Europe. Storage currently stands at 65.88 % in Austria, 68.87 % in France and 82.27 % in Italy.
Austria's storage plays a role well beyond its borders as a transit country for Central Europe. French and Italian storage matters particularly for Switzerland, which has secured storage capacity there: Switzerland has no underground gas storage of its own and depends entirely on imports.
AGSI+ – the official data source
AGSI+ is the official standard for gas storage data in Europe. It is operated by Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE) and collects daily reports from all European storage operators. Germany's Federal Network Agency, INES and gasspeicher.app all use the same source – on gasspeicher.app it is mobile-friendly, free and requires no registration.
Gas storage levels in the Netherlands
The Dutch gas storage level is particularly relevant for the north-west European gas market. The Netherlands' storage facilities – home to the influential TTF trading hub – move gas prices across the continent. Dutch storage facilities are currently 45.69 % full. On gasspeicher.app the value is updated daily – just pick the Netherlands under “More countries”.
INES – the German storage map
INES (Initiative Energien Speichern) is the German association of gas and hydrogen storage operators. The INES storage map shows every underground facility in Germany. INES data and AGSI+ fill levels complement each other: INES maps the storage infrastructure, while AGSI+ supplies the daily fill data.
