The Swiss federal government issued an emergency decree on the 18th local time, calling for strengthening Switzerland's natural gas reserves, so as to minimize the impact on Switzerland in case of problems in Russian natural gas supply. Switzerland's natural gas supply is completely dependent on imports, but there is no storage facility. It consumes about 35 TWH of natural gas every year. According to the latest decree, Switzerland should reserve 15% of the required natural gas in neighboring countries, and in addition to conventional procurement, it also needs to purchase 6 TWH of non Russian natural gas in France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.
