Energy markets cope well with extreme heat in Southern Europe, but the risk to prices ahead remains

  • Summary

  • In this week’s Resonance energy market podcast episode, Jeremy Nicholson talks to Alfa’s Dan Veasey as we see extreme heat in Southern Europe. 

    Topics explored include:  

    • Not much response in pricing to extreme heat, although there is some reduced capacity of the French nuclear fleet.
    • Demand has increased in southern Europe, but there is significant renewables generation to counter that right across Europe.
    • The variability of renewables and the impact on the management of grid.
    • Norwegian gas production increases following the return of a major processing plant. Further maintenance lies ahead next month.
    • LNG drops, but meets demand and storage is expected to be at capacity going into winter.
    • However, any significant cold snap or supply disruption still presents a real risk for both winter and next summer, especially with LNG demand in Asia picking up.
    • The threat to remaining Russian gas supplies.
