Bruegel · Developing an EU approach to strategic gas storage

The ongoing gas crisis has again drawn attention to Europe’s persistent supply weakness and has sparked a fresh debate on how to address it. One of the most discussed options is to develop a new approach to strategic gas storage, to ensure that Europe can start its winters with a significant buffer in case of supply issues.

At this event, we addressed the core considerations surrounding a plan for having strategic storage.
