IEA's Birol warns of tighter energy supply next winter 

BERLIN: International Energy Agency head Fatih Birol has warned of possible energy shortages next winter as relatively little new liquefied natural gas is coming to the market while China’s consumption is set to rise this year. 

European governments made many correct decisions over the last year to ensure energy supply, such as building more LNG terminals to replace pipeline deliveries of Russian gas, Birol told Reuters on the sidelines of the annual Munich Security Conference on Saturday.
