During August-November 2022, natural gas consumption dropped in most Member States (see Figure 1). In 18 Member States, consumption dropped beyond the 15% target, in some, by a large margin (above 40%). Consumption fell the most in Finland (-52.7%), Latvia (-43.2%) and Lithuania (-41.6%).
Six Member States, while reducing their natural gas consumption, have not yet reached the 15% target. By contrast, natural gas consumption increased in Malta (+7.1%) and Slovakia (+2.6%).
is this good or bad?
If you decrease gas consumption you decrease companies production. Simple as that. Pretty bad then.
