| The UK gas system is balanced this morning as temperatures remain above the seasonal norm, reducing residential heating demand. Storage levels are also healthy and flows are higher than last week’s levels. Despite this healthy supply picture, movement along the gas curve is mostly flat. | Power prices have recovered some of yesterday’s losses due to a slight rise in coal and carbon, while gas and oil are stable. Meanwhile, renewable levels have picked up as expected and the prompt displays another small loss. |
