The leadership of the European Union urged the countries of the association to reduce gas consumption due to rising energy prices. This was announced by the European Commissioner for Energy Dan Jorgensen in a letter to the heads of relevant departments of the EU countries. The document was reviewed by Reuters.
“I urge you to consider taking or extending measures that will help replenish reserves or reduce gas and electricity consumption as much as necessary,” the letter said.
The European Union is better prepared for winter than in 2021. However, EU countries must take additional measures due to the crisis in energy supplies, the commissioner stressed.
The situation on the global energy market has worsened due to the conflict in the Middle East. This caused fuel prices to rise in various regions. In Germany, the price of diesel reached a historic high of €2,453 per liter in mid-September.
