A charge to help fund gas imports into Germany will more than double from July, according to Trading Hub Europe (THE), which was tasked by Berlin with ensuring national stocks get Europe's top economy through the winter. The country's gas storage levy, or "neutrality charge", will be set at 1.45 euros per megawatt hour (MWh) from July, up from 0.59 euros previously, said THE, which has so far spent 8.7 billion euros ($9.6 billion) to fill Germany's gas caverns. The levy was introduced in the summer of 2022, when reduced Russian gas supplies stoked fears that Germany may not have enough of the fuel to get through the winter season.
