# 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. **In brief**: Ongoing story bringing together 6 events nationwide, followed from 24 October 2026 to 31 October 2026. 28 articles from 18 sources (economy); last updated on 31 October 2026 at 11:40. - Status: ongoing - Category: Economy - Place: Nationwide - First detected: 24 October 2026 at 10:40 - Updated: 31 October 2026 at 11:40 - Web page: https://acturadar.com/en/stories/58-gas-prices-rise-in-france-and-europe-in-autumn-2026 ## Reported figures - 200 euros - 182,88 € - 194,90 € - 12 euros - 100 euros le mégawattheure ## Coverage angles The three sides cover the crossing of the 100 euros per megawatt-hour threshold as a major fact, but diverge on angle: the left emphasizes the entry into the heating season, the center details international causes and practical consequences for households, the right highlights the direct cost for households and the 2022 precedent. **Common ground** - The European gas price crossed the 100 euros per megawatt-hour threshold on October 28, 2026, for the first time since 2022 - The 6.6% increase in the reference gas price applies on November 1 for about six million households - Middle East tensions and stock levels are cited as factors in the surge **Differences** - The right quantifies the increase at about 12 euros per month for affected households, a detail not taken up by the left - The center develops obstacles to the transition to heat pumps and tips to reduce bills, absent from the other sides - The left frames the event around the entry into the heating season, an angle not highlighted by the right ## Timeline (6 events) ### 24 October 2026 — [Gas prices increase by 6.6% on November 1](https://acturadar.com/en/events/16-gas-prices-increase-by-6-6-on-november-1.md) According to the French energy regulator CRE, gas prices are set to rise by 6.6% on November 1.
