The hot summer has been dominating European market fundamentals, but, despite some fairly supportive developments, gas demand across the four-country region fell in July, buffeted by headwinds from higher solar output, French nuclear availability and Alpine hydro generation. The summer heat is ex.. -

Northwest continental European gas markets logged y/y gas demand growth of 0.2 bcm in June, and we expect gas demand in July to be up by 0.45 bcm y/y. The latter expectation comes from the drought-like conditions across NW Europe that have caused a steep drop in Nordic hydro levels and could also.. -

For the region as a whole, we expect gas demand to drop by 0.14 bcm y/y in June, due largely to French and German power sector gas demand weakness. Higher French nuclear availability and alpine hydro levels will remain headwinds, although some support could come from lower wind generation and the.. -

Aggregate gas demand fell in Belgium and the Netherlands in November, owing to mild weather, but rose slightly in France on higher HDDs. Strong Asian LNG demand curbed port receipts into the region and slowed LNG sendout, leading all three countries to increase pipeline imports. Aggregate Dutch d.. -

In October, a very mild start to the winter helped cut both LDZ demand and end-user gas demand y/y in the Netherlands, France and Belgium. HDDS in the three countries in October were lower by an average of 35% y/y, leading to a hefty drop in res-com demand. High wind generation cut gas-fired powe.. -
Neth., Belgium, France – Sep 2017

End-user gas demand in France, the Netherlands and Belgium was up y/y in September as unseasonably cold weather supported heating demand, offsetting lower y/y power sector gas demand that fell on higher wind and nuclear generation. HDDs in the three countries increased y/y by an average of around.. -
