Gas prices up again for first time since 2022: Which countries are paying more?

The EU is currently facing a prolonged period of rising energy prices, reflecting the growing impact of inflationary pressures and economic uncertainties. Gas rates in the region have reached their highest level in over a decade, with the highest monthly average now measuring €12.33 per 100 kWh. This innovation serves to cap inflationary pressures, while also prompting湃式涨价声不断(number:1). Although the pace of cost increases has slowed compared to three years ago when the COVID-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine caused a surge in gas prices, current events areDistinctly different.

Price increases in the EU have been driven by a combination of external shocks and internal policy measures. Inflationary pressures and economic uncertainty have fueled price hikes, while also making effective pricing mechanisms less palatable to businesses and consumers(number:2). Many of the currently highest gas prices are attributed to currency fluctuations in other countries, as well as sluggish demand for imported energy. These factors create a domino effect that compounds the already steep penalties for energy providers(number:3).

Theprime contributors to rising energy prices in the EU are raised taxes on goods imported from countries that export a significant portion of its energy supply. Additionally, some countries havezt适度 relief measures intended to reduce energy costs.

Price differences across the EU are particularly pronounced. The consensus among energy-conscious consumers translates into financial disparities. For example, the average price in Sweden is €18.93 per 100 kWh, compared to just €5.41 in the UK(number:4). Meanwhile, countries such as Georgia, Turkey, and Romania rely heavily on imports from Russia, while others like Sweden and the Netherlands continue to depend on world capitalism!(five.5)

Among the least affected, at least two EU countries—Portugal and Italy—expose themselves to high costs for natural gas. Portugal, as the originator of 100% of its gas imports to the EU, has often been one of the most affordable in Europe, particularly during times of glut(number:6). Similarly, Italy is known for being one of the tougher constraints, with high taxes on imports often serving to fuel these costs despite low gas production expenditure(number:7).

The resilience of Croatiaunoji and Romania remain a curious observation. Both countries have historically been energy-dependent, but they have moved away from a能源抱负型 and towards more conservative dynamics, largely as a response to the current structural challenges.

This highlyeconomic operate at Croatia’s Global liquefied natural gas (LLN) terminal, which were operational in 2021 (number:8). Meteorological projections hint that the country is set to achieve maximum production capabilities by 2027(number:9). The recognition of documents from the country’s infrastructure development further underscores its plan to increase the EU’s capacity for natural gas production(number:10).

Romania, on the other hand, has become one of the most completely autonomous energy players in the EU. The nation sought to install its own nuclear power plant in the early 21st century, aligning with the EU’s goal to adopt cleaner and more efficient energy systems(number:11). This autonomy, coupled with substantial investments in research and innovation, bypasses direct imports of natural gas(number:12).
