Rise in gas prices in France and Europe this autumn 2026
On October 24, 2026, the CRE announced a 6.6% increase in the price of gas effective November 1, while the decline in the number of subscribers has increased the cost of the network for households still connected. At the end of October, the prices of imported oil and gas accelerated in September, and the price of European gas surpassed 100 euros per megawatt-hour, a first since 2022. Europe is planning to end Russian gas imports in 2027 in two stages, as Russian LNG imports into the EU reach record levels before the planned ban on January 1. The price hike takes effect on November 1, and some households, particularly in Asnières-sur-Seine, are limiting their heating; a poll indicates that three out of four French people consider the cost of gas heating too high. Rising energy prices are weighing on household and state budgets, and the question of giving up heating is back at the center of concerns.
