Gas supplies are stable and European gas storage reserves have been well supplied. Due to the warm autumn, we have only recently begun to use these reserves. But the relatively warm winter conditions so far have meant that the need has been limited. Moreover, the Danes have been good at conserving energy.
The Danish Energy Agency does not consider that it will be necessary to interrupt consumer gas supplies first half of 2023. However, this does not mean that Danes should abandon their efforts to conserve energy.
There remains a risk of gas shortages in the winter of 2023/24, because the lower import levels may result in our storage reserves not being sufficiently filled over the course of summer 2023. It is therefore crucial that we make efforts even now to conserve as much gas as possible.
The Danish Energy Agency issued an early warning on 20 June 2022, which is a call to actors on the gas market to prepare for the risk of a genuine supply crisis.
Our security of supply is better than in many other countries. In 2022, 34 percent of domestic gas consumption was covered by our biogas production and some gas continues to come in from the Syd Arne oil field. At the same time, we have also been transforming our industry, heat and electricity production over several years.
