German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. File photoMOSCOW, 4 Sep. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, in an interview with ZDF, promised to soon limit the price cap for electricity. «This will happen as soon as possible,» the head of government said, commenting on the timing of the introduction of the price cap. Scholz did not provide any details. At the same time, he predicted that a blackout would not happen next winter, but at the same time did not rule out such a scenario. Western countries, including Germany, faced rising energy prices and a surge in inflation due to the imposition of sanctions against Moscow and the course to abandon Russian fuel. Due to the rise in the price of fuel, primarily gas, the industry in the West has largely lost its competitive advantages, which has also affected other sectors of the economy. Also, the United States and European countries are facing inflation that has been record for decades.
