EU energy ministers have agreed countries will cut gas use in case Russia halts supplies.
EU members, locked in negotiations since the idea was suggested last week, have now agreed to a voluntary of 15% between August and March, SIA cites British media.
"This was not a Mission Impossible!", tweeted the Czech Republic, which holds the rotating EU presidency.
The EU said the aim was to make savings ahead of winter, warning that Russia was "continuously using energy supplies as a weapon," the EU said.
The voluntary deal would become mandatory if supplies reach crisis levels.
However, the EU said some countries not connected to the EU's gas pipe lines, such as Ireland, Malta and Cyprus, would be exempt from any mandatory gas reduction order as they would not be able to source alternative supplies.
