"We are in an energy crisis," said the third Vice President, Sara Aagesen, upon her arrival at the European Energy Council in Dublin this Tuesday, on the eve of the Council of Ministers approving a new Royal Decree, the third since the war in Iran began in late February, to address the economic consequences of the entrenchment of the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, crucial for global energy supply before the attacks by the United States and Israel against Iran.

Vice President Sara Aagesen confirmed this morning upon her arrival at the European Energy Council in Dublin both measures, announced by the economic newspaper Cinco Días, which will be included in the Royal Decree responding to the geopolitical situation, the third that Moncloa has had to activate since hostilities began between the United States and Iran at the beginning of the year."

We are going to limit the growth of the Last Resort Tariff (TUR), assuming that instead of increasing by 45 or 49%, the increase will be capped at 15%. As every quarter, the Last Resort Tariff (TUR) for gas must now be reviewed for the last three months of the year, and Aagesen has indicated that, if no measures are taken, the increase would be around 45 to 49%, due to the rising price of gas in international markets as a consequence of the crisis in the Middle East, which has severely restricted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

"Today, the Council of Ministers will approve a package of measures, among which I can confirm that we will include provisions that had already been outlined during the previous crisis situation, specifically that of Ukraine. I think these are essential measures to protect against this situation of vulnerability. We will also cap the price of a butane cylinder at 19.55 euros," Sara Aagesen further announced. (translated)
