Today, nearly one third of the energy used by European households is natural gas. Despite this important share, consumer rights and protections in the gas sector lag behind those in electricity. Gas consumers find it difficult to understand what they are paying for, how to distinguish between different offers and how sustainable their heating is. To support Europe’s plan to become carbon neutral by 2050, gas needs to be phased out and consumers will need to switch from gas to renewable energy. For the switch to be equitable, consumers should be granted appropriate protections and guarantees!
