The ongoing global energy crisis has created instability in various economic sectors. One of the most pronounced impacts is the increase in gas prices throughout the world. Several factors contributed to this price spike, stemming from increased demand, geopolitical conflicts and supply chain issues. One of the main drivers of rising gas prices is the post-pandemic surge in demand. As COVID-19 restrictions are eased, countries around the world are trying to return to normal economic activity. With industry and transportation operating again, energy demand has increased drastically. For example, data shows that natural gas use in the industrial sector increased by 20% compared to the previous year, putting pressure on already limited supplies. Geopolitical conflicts also play a significant role in this crisis. Increased tensions between Russia and European countries relate to gas supplies, especially after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This has caused European countries to look for alternatives to reduce their dependence on Russian gas. This uncertainty has a negative impact on gas prices in international markets, so investors become more wary, pushing prices up. Apart from that, supply chain problems are the main obstacle in gas distribution. With ongoing restrictions in various countries and the logistical impact of the pandemic, many gas deliveries and production have been hampered. This causes supply shortages that worsen the energy crisis. Delivery wait times increased, and gas companies had to raise prices to adjust to the additional costs incurred. Weather uncertainty is also another factor that influences gas prices. A colder-than-expected winter in the northern hemisphere boosted demand for heating gas. Additionally, natural disasters and climate change could impact gas production and infrastructure, causing further disruptions. In a global context, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other energy producing countries are trying to stabilize the market by paying attention to supply and demand. However, these efforts are often hampered by external factors that are difficult to control, including fluctuations in global energy markets and political decisions. In Indonesia, rising gas prices also have a direct impact on people’s costs of living. The government responded with various policies to reduce the burden on consumers, including energy subsidies. However, this does not necessarily solve the long-term problem of a more sustainable supply of renewable energy. The increase in gas prices not only impacts the energy sector but also creates a domino effect in other sectors. Rising transportation costs affect the prices of goods and commodities, potentially contributing to inflation. This is a challenge for many countries that are struggling to recover from the economic impact left by the pandemic. With this very dynamic situation, it is important for the government and industry players to formulate adaptive energy policies. Investment in renewable energy technology and the use of alternative energy sources must be part of a long-term strategy to face the recurring energy crisis.
