文摘

The problem of the use of available reserves of shale gas in Germany is linked, above all, with the domestic gas prices and, significantly, with the security of energy supply. According to the experts of Wintershall, the leading gas supplier to the domestic market, natural gas has a crucial significance for energy supply of Germany and Europe. Company’s CEO Rainer Seele said in April 2013 that the German industry was facing hard times and that it had itself created this problem (Nikiforov, Battle for gas. NG-Energia, 2013). It is connected with the rising energy prices, which is caused by the country’s energy policy reform. Nevertheless, the prices are falling throughout the world both in the relative and absolute indicators. Gas prices in the USA are currently three times lower than in Germany. The Wintershall head believes that the fact that energy prices also affect competitiveness is too often neglected.
