Gas price: increase in France and Europe in autumn 2026
On October 24, 2026, the CRE announces a 6.6% increase in gas prices effective November 1. On October 25, the decline in the number of gas subscribers raises network costs for households that remain connected. On October 27, data on imported commodity prices show that in September 2026, the price of oil in euros rose 16.5% month‑on‑month and gas prices rose 21.2%. On October 28, European gas prices surpass 100 euros per megawatt‑hour for the first time since 2022, while Europe plans a phased total phase‑out of Russian gas imports in 2027 amid a blockage of Qatari gas linked to the war in Iran. On October 31, Russian LNG imports to the EU reach a record level before the full ban scheduled for January 1, notably due to the war in the Middle East.
