"In the setting of limited global supplies and significant price fluctuations, decreasing consumption can serve as an effective measure to control prices," claims a letter from Jørgensen to EU ministers on September 25, which the publication has examined.

In the letter, he suggests that officials implement actions to reduce gas and electricity usage "for as long as needed."

Simultaneously, Jørgensen emphasizes that the energy security of the EU is presently guaranteed.
