The <\/strong>EU<\/strong> is looking to relax its gas storage requirements to stave off inflationary effect<\/strong>s<\/strong>, Reuters<\/a> reports, citing a negotiating document it has seen. A tentative plan circulating among member states proposed setting a range within which targets could be met somewhere between 1 October and 1 December, instead of fixing the deadline on 1 November. EU officials are set to hash out the draft proposal this week.<\/p>\n

Some context: <\/strong>Earlier this month, the European Commission motioned to maintain<\/a> the current gas storage framework for two more years \u2014 which stipulates that the bloc must fill 90% of the target by 1 November. The rules were implemented in 2022 to secure wintertime energy reserves following Russia\u2019s reduction of gas supplies. Several member states have highlighted that keeping the deadline fixed for buying up and storing immense amounts of gas has rendered the market vulnerable to price manipulation.<\/p>\n
