The issue has been a hot potato for a long time.
Last week, they got almost all the way there, and on Monday, the EU's energy ministers were able to agree on the issue of gas price ceilings.
- Today we have to end this.
We offer a solution that should satisfy both those who want a roof and those who are concerned about it, Czech Industry Minister Jozef Síkela said on his way into Monday's meeting.
According to Reuters, the price ceiling for natural gas will be just over SEK 1,800 per MWh.
During August, gas prices were around SEK 3,400 per MWh.
"A joke"
The issue has stirred feelings among several EU countries.
When the European Commission proposed a price ceiling of SEK 2,750, Spain, Poland, Italy and Greece called the proposal "a joke", writes the site energi.se.
Countries such as Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark have expressed concern that the market would be disrupted.
The details of Monday's settlement are not yet public.
