Gas prices stable after days of volatility

Gas prices were much more stable on Wednesday, a welcome break from recent volatility.

The biggest moves were posted further out, with the Summer 26 contract edging 0.03p/kWh above its previous close as longer term risks including a bleak LNG outlook detracted from high storage levels.

On the LNG front, only laden 2 vessels are anticipated to arrive at UK terminals over the next 7 days as favourable EAX LNG (East Asia Index) prices continue to divert supplies of the fuel away from Europe.

Furthermore, LNG send-out flows into the NTS remain constrained; data from National Gas shows that LNG accounted for only 9mcm of British supply across Wednesday’s session, a stark contrast to the figure of 70mcm that was measured for the same date last year.

The aforementioned above-average storage levels across Europe likely continued to serve as a price ceiling for contracts across the near-curve. According to the latest data from Gas Infrastructure Europe, aggregate EU storage levels stand at just over 69% capacity, the highest figure recorded for that date since May 2020 and a massive 19% above the 10-year moving average.

This morning, gas prices have opened at a slight discount when compared to yesterday’s close, with the Winter 24 front-season contract currently being offered circa offered 0.026p/kWh below its previous settlement at time of writing.

Say 'No' to cold calling on business energy

Unfortunately, business electricity and business gas customers in the UK are bombarded with unsolicited cold calls on a daily basis.

This unscrupulous approach does not offer the business energy customer an impartial view on the market and the price offered is more often 20-30% above the current retail price for electricity or gas.

At Energy Advice Line we strongly advise customers to not accept these offers and follow our simple steps to ensure that they are not locked into an uncompetitive contract.
