Carbon prices across the EU are reaching record-high levels as energy companies prepare to comply with the EU Commission's new Fit for 55 green rules. The issue is set to spark a clash between the EU executive and the European Parliament where the legislation will be discussed on Tuesday.
Across the EU protests are already erupting against an increase on energy bills, with Spaniards currently taking the lead on the streets of the country.
The daily average price of electricity in the wholesale market broke a new historical record last month in Spain, reaching €124.45 per megawatt per hour (MWh).
Carbon dioxide is also getting ever more expensive in Poland topping €60 for a ton, 12 times more than four years ago.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki blamed the EU for the rising prices at a conference last week.
