EU wary of broad gas price cap in plan to tame energy crisis via IrishTimesBiz
With consumers in the EU’s 27 member states reeling from record energy bills after Russia cut natural gas supplies, governments are pushing the Commission for region-wide solutions to mitigate the crisis. They would build on a previously proposed intervention package that includes a windfall levy, price cap on lower-cost electricity and a mandatory power demand reduction target.
The energy crisis will be a key topic during an informal meeting of EU leaders in Prague on October 7th, and a quarterly summit scheduled for October 20th and 21st in Brussels. Nations that oppose a price cap say that such a move would effectively encourage more consumption of the fuel at a time when the EU is seeking to cut its use.
