France Power Pricing Trends | 28 August 2023
The power market followed the same trend as the natural gas market, falling in the middle of last week before rebounding slightly on Friday. In France, the government has authorised the last two coal-fired power stations to operate for longer than planned, until the end of 2024, to avoid any blackouts next winter. The weekly average price fell from 161.30 €/MWh to 159.51 €/MWh for CAL 2024 and from 140.21 €/MWh to 137.79 €/MWh for CAL
2025.
France Natural Gas Pricing Trends | 28 August 2023
The natural gas market fell in the middle of last week. Workers at the North West Shelf gas facility in Australia reached an agreement with Woodside management on Thursday, temporarily the Australian LNG sector. However, today we learn that Chevron unions in Australia have voted to strike from 7 September. This decision could have an impact on the market price over the next few days, as the facilities of these two entities supply more than 10% of the world's LNG each month. The weekly average price increased from 54.28 €/MWh to 54.48 €/MWh for CAL 2024 and decreased from 47.53 €/MWh to 47.15 €/MWh for CAL 2025.
