The Netherlands would likely be able to withstand a possible halt in natural gas flows from Russia next winter, according to the network operator of state-run Nederlandse Gasunie NV.
“As long as certain conditions are met, there will be no mandatory shut-off of the gas supply for consumers over the coming winter,” Bart Jan Hoevers, director of Gasunie Transport Services, said in a statement. “What remains essential, however, is that we reduce our natural gas consumption together.”
