Gas price increases in France and Europe in autumn 2026
On October 24, 2026, the CRE announced a 6.6% increase in gas prices on November 1, which adds to other changes affecting household budgets. On October 25, it was reported that the decline in the number of subscribers increases network costs for the remaining connected households. On October 27, data on imported raw material prices showed that in September 2026, the price of oil in euros rose by 16.5% over a month, and that of gas by 21.2%. On October 28, European gas prices crossed the 100-euro-per-megawatt-hour mark for the first time since 2022, weighing on energy prices in France. The same day, Europe scheduled a total halt to Russian gas imports in two phases, in January and September 2027, while prices soar, exacerbated by the blockage of Qatari gas linked to the war in Iran.

Angle comparison for the whole story
All sides report the crossing of the 100-euro-per-megawatt-hour mark on October 28, a first since 2022, but differ in their framing: the left frames it around the heating season and market levels, the center around the end of Russian gas and a plurality of causes, and the right around supply (Qatar, stocks).
Left
Highlights Europe's entry into the heating season with prices at their highest and the 100-euro threshold reached on wholesale markets, a first since the 2022 energy crisis.
Centre
Highlights the total phase-out of Russian gas imports scheduled for 2027 in two steps while describing a surge with multiple causes (war in Iran blocking Qatari gas, lower stocks, low wind power generation); several headlines emphasize the impact on households and businesses, including the 6.6% increase in November.
Right
Focuses on supply factors: tensions in the Middle East, weak LNG exports from Qatar, and European stocks lower than in 2025.
