Prague hosting informal meeting of EU energy ministers

Prague is hosting an informal meeting of EU energy ministers. The two-day event which is being held at Prague’s Congress Centre, is focusing on energy preparedness for the coming winter in view of the decreasing supply of Russian gas to Europe and rising energy prices. Related issues on the agenda are the interconnectedness of the energy systems of the EU countries and the need to make joint energy purchases in order to keep prices under control. The ministers will also debate a possible revision of the electricity market.
