Reduce dependency on the EU
Diminishing supplies and concerns about the future have caused energy prices to soar across Europe.
On Friday, Germany and France announced record prices for electricity in 2023, with contracts within a year jumping to €850 per megawatt-hour in Germany and more than €1,000 in France, up from €85 in both countries last year. .
The European Commission plans to reduce the EU’s dependence on Russian gas by two-thirds this year and end its dependence on Russian fuel supplies before 2030.
