SUMMARY

Prices shifted higher during the week, despite stronger renewable energy generation and muted demand.

Market uncertainty, stemming from significantly below-average storage levels across Europe, is likely continuing to pressure prices for summer delivery as injection requirements tighten the regional supply and demand balance.

According to data from Gas Infrastructure Europe, aggregate EU storage stood at 35.96% full as of 15th April. This is a substantial 26.36% below the same date last year and almost 11% below the five-year average.

It remains unclear if ongoing talks amongst member states aimed at easing the flexibility and pace of injections will help to address the current storage concerns.

In other news, talks surrounding a potential UK-US trade deal have reportedly been advancing well. In an interview on Monday 14th April, Vice President JD Vance stated that he felt there was a ‘good chance’ of a trade deal between the two countries, just weeks after the US applied a tariff of 10% to most UK imports.

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.

Join our cold calling campaign here, and spread the word to say 'no' to cold calling on business energy!
