UK Energy Market Update: Early October

UK Energy Market Update: Early October

Energy prices are on a downward trend as we enter October, driven by stable supply fundamentals, mild weather forecasts, and strong LNG deliveries. However, geopolitical tensions persist with colder weather risks and unplanned outages which are keeping volatility in play.

Electricity Market Movements

UK power prices dipped towards the end of September as mild forecasts and falling gas prices reduced pressure.

Wind generation declined and nuclear output remained limited, increasing reliance on gas-fired power stations.

Stable supply fundamentals supported further easing in forward power prices.

Gas Market Movements

Gas prices softened with strong LNG imports, easing Norwegian maintenance, and comfortable storage levels across Europe.

UK demand rose due to cooler weather and lower renewable output, but increased supply helped offset market impact.

Geopolitical concerns and extended strike action at French LNG terminals added some upward pressure.
