Europa plăteşte cel mai scump gaz din 2022 şi vine iarna

Gas prices in Europe have surpassed $1,000 per 1,000 cubic meters for the first time since December 2022, driven by global supply constraints. The TTF hub in the Netherlands reported futures prices around $1,004 per 1,000 cubic meters. European gas storage levels are lower than last year, raising concerns for winter supply. Romania's gas market is closely linked to European prices, with local transactions reflecting international trends. Although consumer prices are capped, high wholesale prices pressure the state budget and impact the competitiveness of Romanian industries reliant on gas.
