A 'really tough winter in Europe' is ahead given doubts over Russian gas supplies, says Shell boss.
Rationing of energy in Europe cannot be ruled out, the boss of energy giant Shell has warned, due to worries over the supply of gas from Russia.
Last month, Germany moved closer to gas rationing after it triggered the "alarm" stage of an emergency gas plan to deal with shortages, amidst fears of tighter supplies. The highest level of the plan would allow the state to intervene and prioritise energy allocation to households and emergency services.
Europe's gas stocks are 62.6% full, with warnings that meeting the 80% target for winter will be difficult if disruptions to the gas supply continue.within a year, but it has been hard to get agreement on any further measures, such as an outright import ban.
