Growing EU dependence on LNG, decline in thermal coal.
Thermal coal consumption in Europe is declining in the face of growing dependence on LNG, leading to higher prices for imported thermal coal in the context of expected heat waves. High levels of gas storage and diversification into LNG are also contributing to higher thermal coal prices in Europe.

Renewable energies boost economic growth and employment
Renewable energies offer major benefits in terms of employment and the fight against climate change, generating almost 13 million jobs worldwide. Despite these benefits, investment remains insufficient, leading to an increase in the number of people without electricity, while fossil fuels continue to receive far greater funding, depriving citizens of development gains.

Fuel trafficking in Italy: Arrests involving soldiers and managers
Dismantling of a fuel trafficking and corruption network in Italy: 15 people arrested, including air force non-commissioned officers and petrol station managers, involved in a vast tax fraud and fuel theft operation. The investigation revealed a sophisticated scheme enabling service station managers in the Rome area to avoid paying taxes by teaming up with military non-commissioned officers to steal fuel and sell it illegally.

Electricity rates to rise by 10% on August 1
The French government has announced a 10% increase in regulated electricity tariffs from August 1, marking the gradual end of the tariff shield introduced to reduce bills for French households. This increase, planned from the end of 2021, affects households, craftsmen and small businesses connected to a meter with a power rating of up to 36 kilovoltamps, and is designed to mitigate the impact of rising energy costs. Despite this increase, the tariff shield will continue to cover more than a third of French electricity bills, but the scheme is scheduled to be phased out by 2024 to achieve budget savings.
