Against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, the disruption of Russian gas supplies has led to skyrocketing electricity prices and market volatility, leading the Commission and member states to consider new policy options such as capping prices or decoupling of gas and electricity prices. In recent months, Parliament and Council have adopted an&nbsp;emergency plan for filling gas reserves.

The Commission has also launched the&nbsp;RepowerEU&nbsp;plan to reduce the&nbsp;dependency from Russia, diversify gas supplies, speed up the roll-out of renewable gases and replace gas in heating and power generation as well as&nbsp;EU-wide gas consumption reduction measures.

This can&nbsp;reduce EU demand for Russian gas by two thirds before the end of the year. The EC came with proposals how to deal with the problem during the SOTEU speech of Ursula von der Leyen.

European Union countries agreed on 30th September on series of meeasures, including energy levies on windfall profits of energy companies or binding targets to reduce electricity consumption.

Getting a grip on energy prices (debate)

With winter at our doorstep, we are all worried about high energy prices, which have been soaring, since the onset of Russia’s war in Ukraine. Before Russia invaded Ukraine, the EU imported more than 40 % of its gas from Russia. These deliveries are all but gone, a decision taken in Moscow, not Brussels. As a consequence, the EU has to look elsewhere for its natural gas imports. The gas shortage is not only increasing the price of gas itself, but also that of electricity.

EPRS - How will increasing fuel prices impact transport?

Food prices in the EU have risen dramatically over the past two years. The chain of disruptions caused by the COVID 19 pandemic, extreme weather events and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 have led to severe shortages in the agri-food chain, resulting in higher consumer prices. The latest European Parliament Eurobarometer survey shows that the cost of living continues to be the main concern for European citizens.

EPRS - Rising food prices

I en situation med skyhøje energipriser støttede Europa-Parlamentet tiltag, der skal beskytte europæiske forbrugere og virksomheder mod udgifterne til el- og gasregninger. MEP'erne bifaldt Kommissionens forslag om at reducere energiefterspørgslen og sænke prisen på elektricitet og samtidig omfordele energisektorens overskudsindtægter til kunderne. De opfordrede til at gøre mere for at beskytte de mest sårbare og SMV'er mod de stigende priser på energi.

Members will vote on a new framework to deal with cross-border health threats in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. They are also set to call for a solidarity-based EU response to high energy prices.
