Climate change saves Europe from energy crisis
Climate change saved Europe from a severe energy crisis after Russian gas supplies to Europe almost completely stopped due to the war on Ukraine, which pushed prices to rise to record levels in 2022.
Contrary to expectations, natural gas prices in Europe fell. Average electricity rates returned to pre-war levels after reaching record levels last August.
The main reason for the decline is the relatively mild temperatures in Europe, which have reduced gas consumption.
A second reason is a decline in industrial demand for gas on the continent and replacing it with natural coal, which is cheaper.
As a result, fears that European governments will resort to rationing energy consumption have dissipated. Consumers' and households' fears of a new wave of inflation and high prices that result from high energy prices have also receded.
European countries provided hundreds of billions of dollars to help companies and consumers absorb the shock. The governments tried to reduce dependence on Russian gas imports, which accounted for more than 40 percent of their imports. To bridge gaps, the countries increased supplies from Norway and shipments of liquefied natural gas from Qatar, the United States, and other producers.
Is it time to celebrate the end of the energy crisis? Is Europe bypassing what some described as Putin's "weaponizing energy" policy? The stakes are still high.
According to observers, although gas prices in Europe have declined, they are still about three times higher than during the past decade, meaning that supply is less than demand. Still, in the event of a frost wave, demand will automatically rise.
Observers consider that there is a constant danger to Russian gas supplies to Europe, representing one-fifth of the normal levels this year, and the Kremlin may cut it completely.
Also, the recovery of the Chinese economy after recovering from the COVID-19 crisis may raise energy prices again.
In conclusion, Europe may be in a better position than previous concerns, but the worries about the energy crisis are not over yet.
