Europe faces energy crisis in winter due to dependence on fossil fuels

Diário de Viseu10 September 2026 at 14:15

Europe faces a new energy crisis during the winter, at a time of great vulnerability for the continent. The situation is due to the continuous dependence on fossil fuels, which keeps European countries exposed to fluctuations in the global energy market.

This crisis comes after a summer described as "hellish," marked by extreme temperatures across much of the European continent. The intense heat waves severely affected the population and energy systems.

The extreme heat of the past summer is attributed to climate change, which has been intensifying extreme weather phenomena in Europe. This context further aggravates the energy challenges the continent now faces in winter.
