As is known, gas deposits cover about 20% of our country’s annual needs, and currently storage has stopped at 82.56%, about 15 billion cubic meters available to families and businesses for consumption of gas which, in the winter season, touches 400 million cubic meters per day – explains Assoutenti -. While dependence on Russian gas has dropped from 40% to 18%, on the other hand the very high prices and the diversification strategies of the sources of supply initiated by the government (Algeria, Azerbaijan and regasification plants), have made it possible to replace only 17 of the 29 billion cubic meters of gas imported from Russia and the gas market blocked, because the supplier companies are unable, except for a very few, to buy gas at TTF prices and with gold guarantees to pay.
