16th July 2024 Energy Price Alert – UK Gas & UK Electricity

Wholesale Gas and Electricity prices gave up Friday’s gains on Monday, and we expect a period of relative stability now.

Gas: Gas prices dipped yesterday. Gas fired generation is expected to decline, and wind output for Tuesday is expected to increase, forecasting at 5.6GW.
 
Power: Power prices fell yesterday as key fundamentals pressured prices. Further bearishness could be brought on by a combination of wind generation being revised upwards for next week, and the expected return of the Heysham reactor 2 (585MW).
 
Oil: Forecasts of a decline in global demand weighed on oil contracts. Ongoing conflict in the Middle East continues to drive uncertainty in the market.
 
Carbon (EU ETS): The ICE Dec-24 closed at €67.64/t last Friday. The contract is currently trading lower at €67.32/t this morning.
 
Carbon (UKAs): The ICE Dec-24 settled at £40.48/t. This contract is currently trading at £40.30/t this morning.
