Europe’s gas reserves are low and the situation around the Strait of Hormuz may be prolonged, the global CEO of JERA, Japan’s biggest power ​generator, said on Monday.

Liquefied natural gas and gas from Russia to Europe will stop on January 1 next year, and gas prices may rise further, Yukio Kani, Global CEO and Chair of JERA, said at an energy forum in Bangkok.
