Brief

The European Union could face a gas shortage this winter as temperatures begin to drop and gas reserves are at historically low levels for the season, according to a study by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis published on October 9.

This situation could force the European Union to reduce its gas consumption by 7% to avoid supply tensions, the study warned, as reported by RFI on October 10.
