Gottfried Steiner, CEO of CEGH: “2021 was a challenging year for the Energy Markets and especially the Gas Markets, nevertheless, we achieved a lot together with our partners and customers. Volatile gas prices between EUR 16.00/MWh and 177.40/MWh in one year were never seen before and a great challenge to all market participants.”
