Gas prices: rise in France and Europe in autumn 2026
On October 24, 2026, the CRE announces a 6.6% increase in gas prices on November 1. On October 25, the decline in the number of gas subscribers increases network costs for households remaining connected. On October 27, data on imported raw material prices show that in September 2026 the price of oil in euros rose 16.5% month-on-month and gas by 21.2%. On October 28, the European gas price crosses for the first time since 2022 the threshold of 100 euros per megawatt-hour, while Europe schedules a total halt to Russian gas imports in two stages in 2027, in a context of Qatari gas blockage linked to the war in Iran. On October 31, Russian LNG imports into the EU reach a record level before the complete ban scheduled for January 1, notably due to the war in the Middle East.
