Europe must cut gas consumption to fill storages, Equinor CEO says

Europe must limit its gas consumption in order to be able to fill storages this year and compensate for lost Russian supply, Equinor 02NG Chief Executive Anders Opedal told a news conference on Wednesday.

"We see that the gas demand needs to be lower in order to refill at a certain level as Russian gas will be less available in 2023 compared to 2022," Opedal said.
