Record wind and solar levels help drive down European electricity prices Weekly prices in most major European electricity markets fell below €85/MWh. The increase in renewable energy production and the decrease in electricity demand favored these decreases. ??https://ow.ly/tfCc50Vo0YO #natgas

What a potential restart of Russian gas flows could look like While there is plenty of noise around a potential restart of Russian pipeline gas to Europe as part of a possible peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, there are still several hurdles that will need to be overcome for this to become a reality. ??https://ow.ly/hirM50Vo0VG #natgas

Frequently asked questions on Russian LNG transshipments FAQs on sanctions against Russia and Belarus, with focus on the following provision: Article 3r of Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2014. Published on March 24. ??https://ow.ly/RVc850Vo0Sk #natgas

Shifting trends in Hungarian natural gas flows Since early February, we’ve seen remarkable shifts in Hungary’s natural gas imports and exports. HU-AT: For the first time since late 2023, large volumes arrived—likely influenced by the positive Ceegex-CEGH spread after a prolonged period. ??https://ow.ly/Rl6p50Vo0OA #natgas

Decarbonisation in Europe and future pathways for gas demand This report identifies multiple decarbonisation pathways for Europe to 2050 all of which indicate key trade-offs between emissions reduction, costs and implications for gas demand. Scenarios that do not achieve net zero emissions by 2050 reduce those costs and keep a larger role for gas in the energy mix for longer. ??https://ow.ly/Kvzj50Vo0KX #natgas

East Mediterranean: Cyprus upstream to help stabilize Egypt gas balances In February 2025 the development of two Cyprus offshore fields was announced – Aphrodite and Cronos. The significance of this is around two overlapping stories. ??https://ow.ly/3Itm50VjVjp #natgas

Redefining energy security in the age of electricity According to this report, to transition from a fossil-fuel-intensive to an electricity-based and decarbonised economy, Europe will need to invest in renewable and clean energy assets, network infrastructure, energy storage, EVs, etc. Access to critical raw materials – essential for some of these assets – will be key to the energy transition. But will it be that easy? ??https://ow.ly/zmAA50VjURG #natgas

A European energy policy for the challenges of the twin transition of industry and open strategic autonomy Ensuring Europe’s energy security and achieving industrial decarbonisation, while maintaining industrial competitiveness has never been more critical. To achieve these goals, the EU needs to address the structural vulnerabilities of its energy system. Rising electricity costs, dependence on imported gas, and global competition in clean technologies all threaten the sustainability of European industries. ??https://ow.ly/ejF750VjULm #natgas

Demand for flexible gas supply in Europe’s power markets set to increase The relationship between gas and electricity is evolving; as renewables expand and coal plants retire, electricity markets reduce gas reliance but remain exposed to price volatility when fossil fuels are needed. ??https://ow.ly/R6Zn50VjUB5 #natgas
