An EU commission official said member countries could reduce natural gas consumption by 15 billion cubic meters this year. The official presented the figure as an achievable target based on current consumption patterns and efficiency measures already in place.
European countries have sought to lower gas use since supply disruptions began affecting the region. The 15 billion cubic meter reduction would represent a measurable portion of annual demand. The commission has previously set voluntary targets for member states to cut usage during periods of tight supply.
The official did not specify which countries would contribute most to the reduction or detail the methods involved. Officials continue to monitor storage levels and import volumes as the year progresses.
