German gas storage is at a record low of 49% full — the emptiest level since records began; a year earlier it was 67% at the same time. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs currently sees no acute gas shortage but stresses that supplies are secured via pipelines from Norway, LNG terminals and neighboring countries. High prices after the Iran war are boosting Equinor’s revenues: Q2 pipeline gas prices rose sharply and adjusted operating income was $11.48 billion. Equinor reports production at capacity and can direct volumes primarily to higher‑priced markets, supporting margins. » Más en deraktionaer.de

Equinor acquires an 87.71% stake in the Lackawanna Energy Center, a 1,483-megawatt gas-and-steam combined-cycle power plant in Pennsylvania, for $940 million, subject to possible purchase price adjustments at closing and regulatory approval. Sellers are funds managed by Global Infrastructure Partners; Invenergy retains the remaining stakes and remains the plant operator.
