Romania will have enough natural gas in its national storage facilities to meet its energy demand for the winter, Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca said on Tuesday.He said that on Tuesday a record percentage of 70% of domestic natural gas output was sent to the national storage facilities."At the moment, the country's methane gas storage facilities are 47% full, which means that our country has acted much faster than the timetable set by the European Commission for the member states. The target for August 1 is 46%, and Romania has already surpassed it in the first half of July. We are ahead of the European timetable for the stockpiling of winter reserves due to the fact that a large part of the methane gas extracted in Romania is stored. Today, a record percentage of 70% of domestic gas output was sent to the national storage facilities," Ciuca wrote on Facebook.According to Ciuca, Romania will be able to achieve before the November 1 deadline the goal set at European level for the storage facilities of all the member states to be at least 80% full."By keeping up the pace, we will be able to reach the percentage just ahead of schedule," said Ciuca.
