UK prompt prices ease despite hot spell

摘要

1. UK NBP prompt and near-curve markets eased lower in the second half of July, but high power sector consumption and falling domestic production because of maintenance in early August could limit the UK's supply available for exports. 2. Hot, still weather has lifted cooling demand and curbed wind generation in recent weeks, limiting the UK's supply in excess of consumption - including Moffat deliveries - it can offload to the continent or inject into mid-range storage.
