National Grid publishes Future of Gas report

14th March 2018 | Posted by: Daniel Birkett | Industry News

The UK grid operator has asked for ‘national policy clarity’ in order to support the industry and promote clean growth. The Future of Gas report highlights how gas could be used to provide low carbon heat, transport and industry if clear policies are outlined. It asks for the government to provide direction so gas can “play a crucial role for many decades to come” by decarbonising infrastructure so it can adhere to the nation’s environmental targets.

Near-curve gas prices decreased on Tuesday but were yet to completely erase the strong gains recorded on Monday. Cold temperatures are expected at the start of next week but milder weather is forecast to return before the month is out. A drop in storage withdrawals has tightened supply but flows in general were healthy. Meanwhile, a drop in oil prices provided additional bearish pressure at the back of the curve.

Gas prices displayed very strong gains at the start of the session but moved down in the afternoon. However, the bearish shift was short-lived as a downward revision in temperatures for next week contributed to another significant rebound. The expected surge in demand has caused concerns regarding a potential gas shortage due to low storage levels. Meanwhile, decreases on oil and coal markets limited some gains at the back of the curve.

Gas prices moved higher on Friday as forecasts for the end of the month point towards more cold weather and storage levels are very low, causing supply fears. Far-curve prices increased later in the session following a rise in oil prices, while the coal market was generally stable.

Near-curve gas prices increased on Thursday with direction coming from a colder weather outlook for the end of the month and the start of April. Storage levels are also low which has provided additional support, while LNG supply is limited by outages in Africa. Meanwhile, an issue in Norway has reduced flows to the UK today, supporting the prompt, but bullish movement at the back of the curve was capped by weaker fuel markets.
