Gas price increases in France and Europe before winter

On October 24, 2026, the CRE announced a 6.6% increase in gas prices on November 1, in a context of strong progression in imported oil and gas prices in September. In late October, the European gas price crossed 100 euros per megawatt-hour, while the European Union schedules the end of Russian gas in 2027 and Russian LNG imports reach a record level before their ban. The increase takes effect on November 1: residents of Asnières-sur-Seine are limiting their heating and a Que Choisir survey indicates that three out of four French people consider gas heating costs too high. In early November, several studies report households limiting their heating and one in three households having difficulty paying energy bills, in a context of cuts to public aid. The International Energy Agency finally reports that Europe is entering winter with gas stocks at their lowest since 2013, which could prolong price tensions.

Angle comparison for the whole story

The three sides cover the same 6.6% increase and the 100 euros/MWh threshold, but differ in angle: the left stresses the impact on households and geopolitical causes, the center on consumption behavior and the energy transition, the right on the bill for affected households and the budgetary dimension.

Left

Highlights the impact on the wallets of six million households, the cumulative increase since January (42%) and the link with the geopolitical context; stresses that the surge weighs on families.

Centre

Focuses on studies and surveys (7 out of 10 French people limit heating, 1 in 3 households in difficulty), practical advice to reduce the bill and obstacles to the transition to electric heating; also covers market causes (Middle East, stocks, end of Russian gas).

Right

Stresses the amount of the increase (about 12 euros per month, nearly six million households, indexed contracts vs fixed-price offers) and the energy and budgetary crisis dimension for the country; relays the crossing of the 100 euros/MWh threshold.
