Natural gas prices in Europe are rising again, raising concerns about increased costs for consumers and the economy as winter approaches. Romania has an advantage due to domestic production and the Neptun Deep project. The Dutch TTF price exceeded 100 Euros per MWh, with a significant increase of 36.2% in October alone. Low storage levels and supply disruptions contribute to this trend. Europe is competing for LNG imports with Asia, while the situation is different in the US, where prices remain stable. The potential for a new energy crisis could further strain the economy and consumers, especially if prices exceed 100 Euros per MWh. Romania's storage levels are better than the European average, but still below last year's figures. The high gas prices pose challenges for industrial consumers, and the liberalization of prices could lead to significant increases for households. The Neptun Deep project could help stabilize prices, but the impact on low-income households remains a concern.
