European Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen sent a letter to twenty-seven EU energy ministers, including Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, inviting them to adopt measures to contain the volatility of energy prices, inspired by those of 2022 during the energy crisis following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The proposals include energy vouchers, social tariffs, efficiency-conditioned aid for industries, incentives for zero-emission mobility, reduction of electricity consumption and turning off unnecessary public lighting. The EU is preparing for the new winter with gas reserves at 70% of capacity, below the target of 80% by December.
