Wholesale natural gas prices in Europe drop

Wholesale natural gas prices in Europe drop
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Brussels (Brussels Morning) Wholesale natural gas prices in Europe dropped on Tuesday as Russia resumed supplies to Germany.

Russia reopened the tap late on Monday, pumping gas from Siberia via the Yamal-Europe pipeline, with German data revealing the highest flow rates in nearly two weeks, Reuters reported on Tuesday.

Moscow, in recently announcing it would resume supplying Europe with gas once it had replenished Russian storage, noted that flow should resume this week.

The Russian energy giant Gazprom announced on Tuesday that it had started filling five underground gas storage sites in Europe.

Russia accounts for roughly one third of Europe’s gas needs, with analysts now suggesting that prices in Europe could drop further if Russia continues to increase the rate of flow.

Dmitry Marinchenko, senior director at Fitch Ratings, pointed out that Gazprom would have to increase the rate of flow by some 170 million cubic metres for one month, representing an approximately one-third increase compared to the current flow rate, in order to refill European storage facilities.

More transit capacity needed

“For such a serious increase in supplies, Gazprom would have to book additional transit capacity via Ukraine – the Nord Stream 1 and Yamal-Europe [pipelines] would not be enough,” Marinchenko noted.

Ukrainian officials indicated that Gazprom had requested to increase shipments via Ukraine to 100.2 million cubic metres, up from between 56 to 64 million cubic metres at the start of the month.

Gas prices were raised this year due to low supplies and a growth in demand as governments eased restrictions imposed to curb the spread of coronavirus, as well as a lower supply rate from Russia.

Flow of gas into Germany at the Mallnow metering point stood at some 3 million kWh per hour late on Monday, which increased to approximately 9 million kWh per hour on Tuesday, its highest flow rate since late October.

Russia has dismissed accusations that it deliberately limited gas deliveries to Europe to pressure Germany into approving the new Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which Berlin is scheduled to do by early January.
