Gas prices are rising significantly in the market. Wood and coal are also more expensive.

Natural gas prices have surged to 90 euros per megawatt-hour, driven by supply disruptions from the Middle East and low European gas reserves. Energy prices are rising, affecting electricity and solid fuels, with increased demand for fixed-rate contracts among consumers. The price of gas has nearly tripled since February, leading to higher electricity costs, which are now around 3700 korunas per megawatt-hour. The government is regulating fuel prices amid a 37% year-on-year increase. Additionally, there is a growing interest in coal and firewood, with rising thefts reported as prices increase. Forest owners are using drones and other methods to monitor their properties against theft.
