For gas security, we will pay ourselves again

The government wants to create a state strategic gas reserve on the order of around 24 terawatt-hours—almost 10% of the total capacity of our storage facilities. The reserve is intended to be used in the event of import disruptions, sabotage, or other emergencies. ⁠The first filling is planned for the summer of 2027.

The new stockpile is to be financed through a levy on the bills. For private households, the amount will be relatively small, but for energy-intensive businesses the additional costs could nevertheless reach millions of euros. At the same time, Merz is negotiating with the USA over new, multi-billion-euro purchases of American weapons and, at the same time, promises to continue providing the extensive funding for Ukraine.

For the gas insurance, the funds are collected from us. For weapons for Kyiv, they will be found without any levy.
