| Gas prices moved higher during Friday’s session with the larger increases displayed at the back of the curve. High storage levels could pose problems as they are likely to be full well before winter, leaving nowhere to store excess supply. | Power prices found support from an increase in gas and carbon on Friday, however, coal decreased, limiting the upward movement. Improved solar availability and warm temperatures also helped to weigh on the prompt. |

| Gas contracts have opened lower this morning, erasing Friday’s gains. Warm weather has reduced demand and resulted in an oversupplied system, while commodity markets offer little direction. | The majority of power prices have opened lower this morning, although some have been pushed higher by strengthening carbon. Meanwhile, the UK is set to experience cooler and windier weather this week which should see a decrease in gas-fired power. |
