The EU warns of very high energy prices in winter. For Europe, energy supply will once again become significantly more expensive. Expensive winter: The EU does not expect supply problems in the coming winter, but explicitly warns of very high prices. EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jörgensen stated on September 29, 2026, that Europe is heading into a challenging winter. Billion burden: Since the beginning of the war between Iran and the USA and Israel, the EU has reportedly had to spend more than 100 billion euros additionally for fossil fuels, according to Jörgensen. Rising global market prices are impacting both citizens and the European industry, according to the EU. The high energy prices remain a significant cost factor for households and businesses in Europe. Thank you for this important note! (translated)
