UK #Energy Prices Rise To Six-Month High

Media_httpwwwcatalyst_zefcf

Annual wholesale gas and power prices hit six-month highs in October, despite falling international energy prices. This was driven by rising demand and concerns the UK would not be able to attract any LNG cargoes over the near term. The annual power contract is now at levels last seen in the spring. Annual April 2013 baseload electricity increased to a six-month peak of £52.9/MWh on 23 October – 10% above summer lows and 1% above the highest point in August. Despite this, annual April 13 baseload power remains around 6% lower than this time last year. Annual April 2013 gas reached a six-month high of 67.2p/th on 23 October; this is 3% higher than last month, but still 4% below last year’s figures.
