Inzenham-West

Bavarian gas storage facility owned by NAFTA Speicher, exempt from Germany's reduced 45% fill target.

Inzenham-West is a Bavarian storage facility that NAFTA Speicher owns, technically operates and markets outright; among the standard-tier sites, it must reach 80% full by 1 November rather than the reduced 45% asked of six named pore sites.

Background

Inzenham-West forms part of NAFTA Speicher's Bavarian storage portfolio, alongside Breitbrunn/Eggstätt and Wolfersberg, a trio whose gas holdings ADD up to roughly 1.8 billion cubic metres. Unlike its two partner sites, public documentation on Inzenham-West does not give an individual capacity figure or a distinct operating history; NAFTA is recorded as handling the site's ownership, technical operation and capacity marketing without a separate storage system operator named.

As a Bavarian facility it falls outside the six pore-storage sites given a lighter obligation, so the Gasspeicherfüllstandsverordnung sets it the standard 80% fill target for 1 November.
