France gas storage today — 87.2% (24 October 2026)
Checked, not claimed.Every forecast we publish is scored against what actually happened, misses included.
In brief
On gas day 24 October 2026, gas storage in France was 87.2% full (108 of 124 TWh). Reported by AGSI+; revisions possible. That is the lowest level for late October in 5 years. Across the EU, storage was 74.6% full on the same gas day. The 14-day forecast expects about 85% on 8 November 2026, with an 80% range of 81% to 90%. The probability of storage being below the 15% alarm level on forecast day 14 is below 1%. This is a model extrapolation: storage has not been near that level in the reference data.
What is driving it
Supply and flowsQuestions and answers
- What is a gas day?
- The gas industry's day runs from 06:00 to 06:00 German time (CET in winter, CEST in summer). Storage and flow figures refer to that day, not to the calendar day, and storage operators publish them on GIE AGSI+ the following evening.
- What does the 80% range mean?
- It is the band between the 10th and 90th percentile (P10–P90) of the model's simulated paths: eight out of ten outcomes should fall inside it. Whether they do is checked every day on the track record page.
- Why is 15% the alarm level?
- It is not a legal trigger: EU Regulation 2017/1938 and § 53a EnWG set no fill-level numbers. The 15% line follows Bundesnetzagentur communications from 2022/23 and industry practice, and below it reservoir pressure and withdrawal rates fall. The probability shown is the share of 2,000 simulated paths that end below 15% on forecast day 14.
- What is the usual range for the time of year?
- The band between the 10th and 90th percentile of the fill level on the same calendar day over the last five complete years. "Below the usual range" means lower than in almost all of those years; "the lowest" means lower than in every one of them.
