Energy price surge and heating difficulties in France

On November 3, 2026, a report from the International Energy Agency indicated that Europe enters winter with gas stocks at their lowest since 2013, which could prolong tensions on prices. On the same day, after a 6.6% increase in gas tariffs on November 1, a new increase of 5.8% is envisaged for December 1, while the barometer of the national energy mediator shows that one in three French people has had difficulty paying their energy bills. On November 4, the European gas cap of €180/MWh was deemed ineffective, and a poll indicated that 57% of households plan to lower their heating this winter. In the following days, regional infographics on gas dependence and calls for testimonials on bills and household strategies were published.
