Consumers in the UK may face another increase in energy prices this winter, according to the head of the International Energy Agency (IEA), Fatih Birol. In an interview with the BBC’s Today program, Birol highlighted a combination of factors, including a strengthening Chinese economy and a potentially harsh winter, that could lead to further price hikes. He criticized European governments for relying too heavily on Russia for energy before the invasion of Ukraine, cautioning against short-term commercial decisions blinding foreign policy.
