EconomyEU natural gas prices top €100 for the first time since 2022

With winter approaching, European natural gas prices rose above €100 per megawatt hour, their highest level since 2022. The EU says it is not worried about supply despite storage being 72% full, but warns households of a “difficult” season. The programme also notes UK efforts to cushion high energy bills and 200 passengers stranded in Cambodia after a cruise was cancelled over fuel costs.
