Background

Stockstadt holds gas in an aquifer formation, one of the smaller pore-type sites in Germany's storage network. Ownership records are thin: the only trace found is a 2015 Bundestag reference naming E.ON Gas Storage, and German storage ownership has consolidated substantially since then, so that attribution cannot be treated as current.

What is confirmed is Stockstadt's place in the 2025 storage ordinance: it is one of six sites given a lighter 45% fill target for 1 November, rather than the 80% expected of most German cavern storage.
