Avertisment pentru Europa înainte de iarnă. O nouă criză energetică prinde contur: Motorina devine problema numărul 1, iar gazele aduc o nouă amenințare

Europe is facing a potential energy crisis due to disruptions in oil and gas supply routes, particularly affecting Romania where fuel prices have surged. The situation differs from the 2022 crisis, with multiple vulnerabilities impacting supply, including issues in the Strait of Hormuz and reduced Russian exports. Diesel prices have reached record highs, and the International Energy Agency reports significant drops in maritime diesel exports. As winter approaches, European gas storage levels are lower than usual, raising concerns about competition for liquefied natural gas. Romania's gas storage is relatively better, but it remains affected by regional market dynamics. Experts warn of a gradual crisis rather than a sudden shock, with potential for simultaneous increases in fuel, gas, and electricity prices if tensions persist.
