BERLIN — Germany will enter Phase 2 of its three-stage emergency gas plan on Thursday, a source close to the matter told Reuters.
The alarm stage, planned for when the government sees a high risk of long-term supply shortages of gas, enables utilities to pass on high prices to customers and thereby help to lower demand.
The Economy Ministry declined to make a statement before a planned news conference at 0800 GMT. (Reporting by Holger Hansen and Christian Kraemer Writing by Miranda Murray Editing by David Goodman)
