Today's market read
Both gas and power near their highest in six months; geopolitical risk and supply tightness pushing prices up across the curve
Every gas and power contract moved higher this week. Sep-26 gas and power are now sitting at the top of the range we have held since March, and winter 2026 contracts have climbed 20%+ over the month. For anyone renewing in the next 12 months, the cheaper window that was open earlier in August has closed.

What matters
Gas and power are telling different stories
Short term:
today's direction is set by the latest settlement.
Wider view:
the 6-month charts below show where that sits in context.
For buyers:
urgency should come from your contract end date, not from a claim about where today sits in the cycle.
Why prices moved
Forces pulling prices in both directions
A balanced view is more useful than a single prediction. These are the main influences in the latest report.
Pressure pulling prices lower
Stronger winds offering modest relief
Stronger winds across North West Europe are adding downward pressure on power prices by reducing the need for gas-fired generation. This is a temporary seasonal factor and should not be relied upon to persist.
Us liquefied natural gas supply rising soon
US liquefied natural gas output is forecast to rise in September, and seven vessels are expected to arrive at Dutch terminals over the coming week. This should help ease the supply picture, though it will take time to move the needle on European storage.
Risks that could push prices higher
Geopolitical risk in strait of hormuz
Hopes for a near-term reopening of the Strait of Hormuz have faded. Yesterday's reports of a temporary navigational corridor and ceasefire framework have not held market confidence; crude oil has risen 2% overnight as the White House confirmed no active talks are happening with Iran. The market is now pricing in an extended period of uncertainty around one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints.
Qatarenergy extends force majeure to october
QatarEnergy has extended its force majeure declaration through October, deepening concerns about liquefied natural gas availability at a time when Europe is already running low on storage heading into winter. This is a material tightening of the supply picture for the continent.
Norwegian maintenance removes supply
An unplanned outage at the Asgard field has removed around 7 million cubic metres per day from the market today. The broader maintenance schedule suggests further capacity losses are likely as September progresses, though the cycle should ease as the month advances.
European storage remains historically low
Storage levels across the continent are well below normal heading into winter, leaving the market acutely vulnerable to any further disruption. This is background that has been in place for weeks, but it remains the fundamental reason why the market is pricing in a risk premium.
French nuclear and hydro under pressure
River levels in France remain below normal, restricting hydroelectric output. A potential strike at the Chinon nuclear plant is expected to begin today, and outages continue at Gravelines 3 and Chooz. These constraints are keeping French power prices elevated and forcing greater reliance on gas-fired generation.
6-month direction
See the run-up — and where today sits
A single daily percentage can't show the trajectory. Each line tracks a rolling maturity — the near-term price, the next winter and the year ahead — across the last 6 months, so nothing breaks as individual contracts roll off. Hover for the value on any day.

What this means
Plan your procurement timetable and stay informed. Far-dated products can hide seasonal detail, so a firm buy-or-wait instruction would be false precision at this stage.
The honest read
Gas and power are not moving together. That makes any single read of the market less reliable.
And wholesale is only part of a quote — non-energy charges, credit, volume and shape all move the final rate. The practical decision is how much further movement your business can tolerate before its contract deadline.
If prices ease further
Wind, milder weather and diplomacy help
If the US and Iran move towards talks and the Strait reopens, or if French nuclear strikes are averted and river levels recover, the geopolitical premium could fade quickly. US liquefied natural gas arriving in September could also begin to ease the continental supply picture, taking pressure off prices.
If prices rise again
Low storage leaves little cushion
If the Strait of Hormuz remains closed or tensions escalate further, or if the Chinon strike extends and other French nuclear capacity is lost, European gas and power could push higher still. QatarEnergy's force majeure running through October means there is no near-term relief from liquefied natural gas, and low storage leaves little buffer.
Fixing buys budget certainty. It does not prove that a business has predicted the market correctly.
