PRAGUE (ČIA) – The energy segment in the EU requires an investment of ca. EUR 1.1 tln until 2020. Without these investments it will not be possible to soften the energy price growth in the long run. This stems from the 13^th report on the energy markets in Europe – Capgemini’s European Energy Markets Observatory. According to the report, problems related to price growth might be softened already now by the decline of the secondary sector and its electricity and gas consumption, similarly to 2009.
