| Gas prices continued to move down yesterday with falling oil markets continuing to dictate the overall energy complex. Colder weather lifted heating demand but the system moved closer to balance as gas-fired power demand remained low due to ample renewable availability. | Power contracts shed from their price during Tuesday’s session, following weaker gas, carbon and feedstocks. The prompt found support from an expected drop in renewables today, combined with colder weather but was the exception in an overall bearish session. |

| The system has fallen 30mcm short this morning but 17 LNG deliveries are expected to dock in the UK over the next 10 days, reducing the impact of the current undersupply. Temperatures are also forecast to turn milder over the coming days, while fuel markets provide little direction resulting in stable gas prices at the start of the session. | Weather forecasts have been revised higher this morning and healthy wind levels are expected until the start of March. Commodity markets also remain bearish but power contracts mirror their gas counterparts and are largely unchanged. |
