  "summary": "The European Union has issued a warning of an impending energy price crisis, citing the fallout from the Iran war in oil and gas markets, according to a letter from EU energy chief Dan Jorgensen. Jorgensen's letter, seen by Reuters, urges countries to consider measures to curb energy demand, stating that the EU is facing a price crisis linked to a supply crisis. Despite being better prepared than during the 2021 Russia-led gas supply reduction, Jorgensen calls on governments to step up preparations for the upcoming winter, inviting them to consider sustaining gas storage injections or reducing energy demand as necessary.",
