High prices see demand destruction in some quarters across Europe
Show Notes

In this week’s European energy market podcast Jeremy Nicholson talks to Alfa’s Dr Petra Puskarova about the continuing issues with gas and power prices and the demand destruction resulting in some quarters.

In this week’s Resonance you will learn:

  • Will NordStream 2 (NS2) come to the rescue this winter, and will Norway offer further relief to high prices
  • Demand destruction rears it head as companies determine that current conditions are inoperable
  • Gas storage levels and the challenges for winter ahead
  • The risk if NS2 is not commissioned
  • While Europe sustains high energy costs, Asia remains higher still
  • Power propped up by gas and coal
  • European energy security back on the agenda
  • The current situation impacting energy suppliers
  • Carbon is not the headline; some sell off possible if industrial activity gets impacted by high gas prices.
