| A drop in wind levels and an expected reduction in Norwegian flows into the UK offered support to near curve gas prices yesterday afternoon. Meanwhile, weakening commodity markets helped to weigh on contracts further along the curve. | Movement along the power curve varied on Tuesday, with the prompt adding to its price on the back of an expected drop in wind generation today. A colder weather outlook offered support to the rest of the near curve, while longer dated contracts followed falling commodities. |

| Gas prices have decreased this morning, following the overall energy and commodity complex. Movement on the near curve was bearish despite a short system, with maintenance at Kollsnes, taking 15mcm of Norwegian capacity offline. | Improved wind generation levels have reduced gas-fired power demand to 25mcm, helping to weigh on the prompt and the rest of the curve. However, temperatures are expected to turn colder next week, limiting any losses. |
