The European Union expects very high oil and gas prices during the upcoming winter. Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen stated this on Tuesday in Dublin at a meeting of EU energy ministers. According to him, the rise in prices is linked to the war in Iran, which has lasted approximately seven months. hnonline.sk ↗
Since then, EU member states have spent approximately 100 billion euros more on energy imports. According to Brussels, the increased costs highlight the risks associated with dependence on foreign energy sources. teraz.sk ↗
Jorgensen warned that Europe is facing an extremely challenging winter period. However, according to his statement, the European Commission does not expect problems with the security of energy supply. The main risk is expected to be high prices, which could increase costs for households, businesses, and public institutions. Trend ↗
EU energy ministers discussed the market situation in Dublin and the consequences of the war in Iran for energy security. Price developments will depend mainly on the further course of the conflict and on the availability of oil and gas on international markets.
Brussels also points out that the current situation demonstrates the importance of reducing dependence on energy imports from abroad. However, the Commission still assumes that supplies will remain secure, even though consumers and companies will have to face significantly higher prices.
