UK energy regulator Ofgem said it would increase the electricity and gas price cap 80% from October 1 to an average £3,549 ($4,197) per year per household.
France committed to capping an increase on regulated electricity costs at 4%. To help do this, the government ordered utility EDF, which is 80% state-owned, to sell more cheap nuclear power to rivals. However, the vaunted subsidy, which has shielded many French from the winter fears of other countries, may not last into the winter, but only until Dec 31 for now. New measures announced since the Ukraine crisis – such as helping companies with the cost of higher gas and power bills – bring the total cost of the government package to more than £22bn, finance minister Bruno Le Maire said. Only 24 of the 56 reactors operated by energy giant EDF were online on Thursday. France, which traditionally exports electricity, is now an importer.
Norway has been subsidising household electricity bills since December, with Norwegians only paying bills in full when under kr70 (£6) per kWh. Government currently covers 80% of the portion of power bills above that. This is planned to go up to 90% from September, with the scheme to remain in place until at least March 2023.
Spain has a 1-year cap on gas prices, which ensures they remain below the average of €50 per kWh. It also cut several taxes to reduce consumer bills, announcing aid and soft loans to help companies and households

Price cap, or a tariff, would be thing that Europeans could do to reduce the billions of euros they continue pouring into the Kremlin’s war coffers. Gas prices, and consequently electricity prices, are also more of a problem because they have risen to levels never seen before. Gas prices on the major European trading platform, the Dutch TTF, are going through the roof (up to 10x higher yoy), even though gas supplies from Russia, whilst reduced, continue to flow.
This has led many to believe that the TTF price does not reflect physical fundamentals, and perhaps not even market dynamics. The argument is then that a price cap does not distort the market because the market is already distorted.
The fact that Russia is gradually reducing supplies also means that another key argument against a gas price cap – the fear of Russian gas interruptions – does not hold water.
Russia seems to believe that if it cuts gas supplies, it can endure the pain temporarily, while Europeans, with a far lower level of political pain endurance in the Kremlin’s view, will divide amongst themselves, with this generating an irresistible drive to lift sanctions. But Russia cannot be oblivious to the fact that it would suffer far more than Europe from a gas decoupling between the two. It is betting that Europeans will give in politically well before this happens. After all, liberal democracies, first and foremost European ones, are fundamentally weak and fragile according to the Kremlin’s (completely illogical) ideology.
