UK Energy Market Update: Mid June

Energy markets surged in mid-June amid rising geopolitical tensions and mounting supply concerns, with power and gas prices climbing to levels not seen since early spring.
 
Electricity Market Movements
 
UK power prices rallied sharply, driven by geopolitical escalations
 
Reports of renewed corrosion at one of EDF’s reactors in France helped push power prices up further
 
Short-term power prices lifted due to ongoing maintenance and reduced wind output
 
Gas Market Movements
 
The Israel-Iran conflict and unplanned North Sea outages have propelled UK gas markets upward
 
Prices gained momentum from intensified global LNG competition
 
EU storage injections have been strong over the last two weeks, though this has done little to remove risk from market prices.
