The Netherlands gas storages are at a historically low filling level of 6%. The largest one Norg, used for "L-gas", the type which households use, is completely empty now: 0.00%. The other L-gas one at Grijpskerk is down to 1.81% and could be empty within days, too.

This has to do with the winding down of the operator of these storages: Gasterra, which used to trade and sell the Groningen gas. Shareholders Shell and ExxonMobil (both 25%) are cashing in on the remaining gas, and apparently Dutch government (the other 50%) agreed.
