Belgian Prime Minister warns of blackouts if energy prices are capped.
Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo warned that the reduction in electricity prices demanded by the opposition could lead to the sale of electricity in other markets and blackouts in the country. This was reported by Reuters.
The Belgian government has been pushing for a pan-European cap on electricity prices since March, but so far there is no unified strategy to tackle rising energy costs on the continent.
“If we limit electricity prices in Belgium, it will be sold in neighboring countries where the prices will not be at the same level,” said De Croo. “There is a risk of a blackout because the electricity will be sold elsewhere.”
It was previously reported that residents of the Kiev region are being asked to conserve electricity to avoid blackouts. On October 15, the enemy again attacked energy facilities in the Kyiv region. There is a possibility of disruption in the electrical system.
It should be noted that the work of the electricity system stabilized within a few days after the massive strike of the Russian Federation, which made it possible to leave the rolling blackouts.
