According to Sergei Pikin, director of the Energy Development Fund, the price of gas in Europe may soon surpass the psychological mark of $800 per thousand cubic meters.
According to the expert, first of all, the price is influenced by the approach of winter against the background of the fact that gas reserves in storage facilities remain at their minimum values.
Also, prices in Asia remain at a high level, and liquefied gas goes there, and not to Europe, which leads to a reduction in the volume of fuel supply on the European continent.
