Gaz mai ieftin, curent electric mai scump: De ce facturile la energie spun povești diferite în Europa

Natural gas prices have decreased significantly in early 2026, but electricity prices have risen, particularly in Romania. The average electricity price in the EU was €0.28 per kWh, while gas prices fell to €0.11 per kWh. Romania saw the highest electricity price increase at 51.9%, contrasting with Denmark's 31.7% decrease. The disparity in energy costs across EU countries highlights the uneven recovery from the energy crisis. Government support measures are being withdrawn, exposing consumers to market fluctuations. Renewable energy sources have mitigated some price volatility, but the overall situation remains fragile as energy prices are still higher than pre-crisis levels.
