Why are prices soaring? – The increases in energy prices, observed throughout Europe, mainly result from rising gas prices after the reduction of supplies from Russia to the EU – tells us Michał Smoleń, manager of the Energy and Climate program at the Instrat Foundation. – The situation is also aggravated by the technical difficulties of nuclear power plants in France and the ongoing drought in Europe, limiting the generation of electricity in hydropower plants – he adds.

What does this mean for us, the audience? – Tariffs for households are approved by the Energy Regulatory Office. The government will probably want to protect households against such drastic price increases, but this may require multi-billion compensation for energy producers and distributors – believes Smoleń. As he says, enterprises and local governments may find themselves in an even more difficult situation. – Companies will try to pass the cost increases onto the recipientsraising prices, and the global competitiveness of the European industry will drop significantly – the expert estimates.
– Even if in the coming weeks we see a drop in prices, e.g. by half, it will still mean approx. four times higher than in previous years – draws attention.
Where is the ceiling? – With such high prices, production in many industries will simply cease to be profitable. The fall in consumption may translate into a fall in prices, but at the cost of huge economic losses, he sums up.
We recommend: Production is limited by many companies. This bodes price increases
