European Energy MarketsBackground
Wolfersberg sits in a depleted gas field roughly 22 kilometres southeast of Munich, capable of holding some 365 million cubic metres of working gas. NAFTA Speicher owns and technically operates the site, while day-to-day running is handled by bayernugs GmbH; Wolfersberg is the third leg of NAFTA's Bavarian trio alongside Breitbrunn/Eggstätt and Inzenham-West, whose combined capacity reaches roughly 1.8 billion cubic metres.
Falling outside the six named pore-storage sites, Wolfersberg must instead hit the standard 80% mark by 1 November under the Gasspeicherfüllstandsverordnung, not the reduced 45% given to its pore-type peers.
