EU natural gas prices top €100 for first time since 2022

As winter approaches, the price of European natural gas topped €100 / megawatt hour, its highest level since 2022. The EU says it’s not worried about supplies, although its storage facilities are only 72% full, but warns households of a ‘difficult’ season to come. Also in the show – the UK government tries to cushion the impact of high energy bills, and 200 passengers are stranded in Cambodia after their multi-year cruise was cancelled because of high fuel costs.
