欧盟即将进入冬季，但天然气储存量仅达到72%，这是10月初的历史性低水平。这一缺口引发了整个欧盟对供暖成本和能源供应安全问题的担忧。近年来，欧盟各国一直力争在11月初将储存量提升至接近90%的水平。
The European Union is entering winter with natural gas storage filled to just 72%, a historically low level for early October. The shortfall raises concerns about heating costs and supply security across the bloc. EU countries have in recent years aimed for storage levels near 90% by the start of November.
据TRT Haber援引的欧盟数据显示，截至10月初，欧盟的天然气储存设施仅填满约72%，这一水平在冬季供暖季开始前创下了历史新低。该数据远低于欧盟近年来同期储存率。
European Union natural gas storage facilities stood at roughly 72% of capacity in early October, a historically low level heading into the winter heating season, according to EU data cited by TRT Haber. The figure sits well below the fill rates the bloc has posted at the same point in recent years.
储备量下降的原因包括过去几个冬季来自俄罗斯的管道天然气流量减少，以及欧盟各国政府推动将供应来源转向液化天然气进口。分析人士警告称，储存缓冲能力的减弱使欧盟在寒冷月份遭遇严寒天气或供应中断时，更容易受到价格波动的冲击。
The lower reserves come after several winters of reduced pipeline flows from Russia and a push by EU governments to diversify supply toward liquefied natural gas imports. Analysts have warned that thinner storage buffers leave the bloc more exposed to price swings if a cold spell or a supply disruption hits during the coldest months.
近年来，根据欧盟范围内的储存指令，各成员国已将11月1日前的储存目标设定在接近90%的水平。随着供暖需求上升，能源部长们预计将密切关注局势，任何进一步的供应缺口都可能导致冬季天然气批发价格持续高位。
EU member states have in recent years targeted storage levels near 90% by November 1 under a bloc-wide filling mandate. Energy ministers are expected to monitor the situation closely as heating demand rises, with any further shortfall likely to keep wholesale gas prices elevated through the winter.
