According to Vienna, Prime Minister Nehammer said in a statement issued by his office on the 28th that he supports setting limits on out-of-control electricity prices throughout the EU . According to reports, the Austrian government was initially skeptical of the idea of limiting energy prices, but gradually began to accept it as electricity prices continued to rise due to soaring natural gas prices.
Nehammer said in a statement: "We must finally put a stop to the madness that is happening in the energy market. This can only be done through a holistic European approach." He also said that he would work hard to convince die-hards in the EU that "eventually something must be done Something. This market cannot regulate itself under the current circumstances. I call on all EU27 (member states) to unite immediately to stop this price surge." The
report pointed out that Austria relies heavily on Russian natural gas, especially for industry and heating. Before the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, about 80% of the country's natural gas supply came from Russia. But most of Austria's electricity comes from renewable sources, and the Austrian public is increasingly less understanding of a market system in which gas and electricity prices are closely linked. Nehammer said the market price for electricity must come down and must be decoupled from natural gas to be closer to the actual cost of production. (Compiled/Wang Diqing)
