"more resilient than before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, although he notes that the situation is far from comfortable" The Energy Commissioner, Dan Jorgensen, has warned the EU capitals that the rise in natural gas prices, driven by increasing global demand, could lead to supply problems as winter approaches.

"In a normal winter, almost 50 million people in Europe cannot adequately heat their homes. This winter could be even worse. Therefore, we are taking the situation very seriously, not to mention our industry, which is also under pressure." The European Union does not anticipate energy supply issues this winter, but very high oil and gas prices are expected, said European Commissioner Dan Jorgensen on Tuesday at a meeting of energy ministers in Dublin.

"The winter will be challenging, prices will be very high," said EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen at a press conference on the sidelines of the informal energy council in Dublin, emphasizing that even if there is not "a real supply security problem, for those who cannot afford fuel, it will be the same." (translated)

"We have now exceeded 100 billion euros in additional energy costs, without receiving even a molecule more of gas or oil." This was announced by the EU Commissioner for Energy, Dan Jorgensen, upon his arrival at the informal energy Council in Dublin, emphasizing that this is "in no way a step back from our ambitions" and that it will be Parliament and the Council to decide "whether to proceed in this direction or not."

"as we discussed in the Energy Union working group, we are facing a price crisis linked to a supply crisis" In the letter, Commissioner Dan Jorgensen recalls that "as we discussed in the Energy Union working group, we are facing a price crisis linked to a supply crisis," which was not happening when the obligation to consolidate gas reserves to guarantee economic stability in winter was raised. (translated)

“We are facing a price crisis related to a supply crisis.” Jorgensen stated that the EU is better prepared now than in the winter of 2021, when Russia restricted gas supplies to Europe by reducing deliveries, due to increased LNG import capacity, increased use of renewable energy, and decreased gas demand. (translated)

"I invite you to consider adopting or continuing measures that can support gas injection into storage or can reduce the demand for gas and electricity as long as necessary." Jorgensen stated that the EU is better prepared than in the winter of 2021, when Russia reduced gas supplies to Europe, due to greater capacity for liquefied natural gas imports, the development of renewable energy, and reduced gas consumption. (translated)

"I invite you to consider the introduction or continuation of measures to maintain the filling of [gas storage] or reduce demand for gas and electricity for as long as necessary," said EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen in a letter to the energy ministers of EU member states. "We are faced with a price crisis linked to the supply crisis." (translated)

"We provide a legal framework that would allow municipalities and member states to take action. We say that they can designate areas where there is a greater concern for housing. This is possible if certain criteria are met. In these areas, measures can be imposed that limit short-term rentals or vacant homes," said Dan Jorgensen, European Commissioner for Housing.
