Europe must cut gas consumption to fill storages, Equinor CEO says

Reuters2023-02-08

OSLO, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Europe must limit its gas consumption in order to be able to fill storages this year and compensate for lost Russian supply, Equinor Chief Executive Anders Opedal told a news conference on Wednesday.

"We see that the gas demand needs to be lower in order to refill at a certain level as Russian gas will be less available in 2023 compared to 2022," Opedal said.
