Rising gas prices in France and Europe in autumn 2026
On October 24, 2026, the CRE announced a 6.6% increase in gas prices effective November 1, adding to other changes affecting household budgets. On October 25, it was reported that the decline in the number of subscribers increases network costs for households remaining connected. On October 27, data on imported raw material prices showed 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 crossed the 100 euros per megawatt-hour threshold 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 stages, in January and September 2027, while prices surged, aggravated by the blockade of Qatari gas linked to the war in Iran.
