Dan Jørgensen, the European Union's Energy Commissioner, in a letter to the energy ministers of member states, referred to the consequences of the Iran war on oil and gas markets and urged them to take action to reduce energy demand. This letter, which has been seen by some sources, emphasizes the price crisis related to supply issues and asks member states to consider whether they should take measures to reduce energy demand.
Energy Price Crisis in the European Union
Jørgensen explained in this letter that the European Union is now better prepared than in the winter of 2021. At that time, a decrease in gas exports from Russia led to a reduction in gas supply to Europe. However, he expressed concern about the current situation and emphasized that governments must increase their preparations for the upcoming winter.

Necessary Actions to Reduce Energy Demand
Jørgensen has advised EU member states to examine the necessary actions to reduce energy demand. He emphasized that governments should start planning now to be able to face potential challenges in the winter season. These concerns arise as the Iran war has impacted energy markets and exacerbated the price crisis.
Many economic analysts believe that the Iran war could lead to increased volatility in oil and gas prices. This volatility will affect not only European countries but also other regions of the world. Therefore, Jørgensen has urged member states to take this issue seriously.
Ultimately, Jørgensen warned that if member states do not act quickly, they may face even more serious challenges in the upcoming winter. He emphasized the need for coordination and cooperation among member states to address this crisis.
