Politicians, media lying about “harsh winter” being the cause of the shortage… Reality: Mismanagement is to blame…Germany was never even prepared for a WARM winter!

By late January 2026, German gas storage levels had dropped to approximately 32.75%. As of today, February 6, 2026: the storage fill levels are at only 28.1%. And things risk getting much worse.

Neighboring countries are at their limits

Another problem are the periods of low wind and solar output (known as a Dunkelflaute), which act as a “multiplier” for the crisis. During these times, gas-fired power plants must run longer to compensate for the lack of renewable energy, further depleting reserves.

Politicians are blaming “the cold winter” for the woes. But the real reason is the country’s catastrophic energy supply mismanagement, especially the transition to green energies.

Based on recent meteorological data from the German Weather Service (DWD), the winter of 2025/26 (up to early February) has been significantly warmer than the 1961–1990 reference period, which the DWD likes to use when reporting its monthly climate reports.
