18th July 2024 Energy Price Alert – UK Gas & UK Electricity

On Wednesday, as expected, wholesale gas and electricity prices gave up at least half of the gains made on Tuesday.

We expect further stabilisation in the coming days.

Gas: Prices dropped yesterday with expectations of an oversupplied grid. This morning, the market is trading up on last night’s close.

Power: NBP losses weighed on the power curve yesterday. Front week wind generation has been revised downwards by 1GW, however this is still 10-20% above seasonal norms.

Oil: Prices rallied yesterday as supply tightened. A weaker USD helped demand, as it made non-USD purchases cheaper.

Carbon (EU ETS): The ICE Dec-24 closed at €66.54/t yesterday. The contract is currently trading lower at €67.21/t this morning.

Carbon (UKAs): The ICE Dec-24 saw some support and rose to £40.93 /t. This morning, the contract is trading at £40.58/t at the time of writing.
