Electricity Gas Dual Fuel
Rise in G.M’s 2010 – 2012: Demand Growth:
High Gas Prices – Over-suppy to meet demand e.g. LNG, GTL Driver – Nuclear & Gas fired Plants
Electricity Prices - Moderate Rise & Decline in Futures Market i.e. 2 – 4% Growth - Residential & Industrial Segments
Cheap hedging costs
8. Hedging Strategies
Electricity costs under different hedging Gas costs under different hedging
strategies strategies
Suppliers - 12 months Hedge costs to rise potentially but will Cost Less as in Past for 2010-2012
9. Wholesale Prices & Costs
Wholesale electricity forward prices Vs Wholesale gas forward prices Vs 18mth
18mth hedge hedge
2010-2012 – Overall Rise in Gross Margins with decline in demand & Futures Market
hence CHEAP Wholesale Costs
10. Regional & UK Gas Demand & Storage
30% Regional LNG Demand Growth by 2020 UK Gas Supply 2016 Proportion:
EU: 10% & BRIC’s: 50% Domestic production 20%, Imports 80%

Gas Supplier Qatar Will meet 20% of UK Gas Current Gas Imports 40%
demand from 2011
UK - 2nd Largest Gas Markets in EU UK Supply Cover Storage
1999 – 2009 Average demand growth 6% 15 days Vs 100 in France & SC/AC only 4%
Gas Fired Power Generation to drive Gas Investments In Gas Storage :
demand till 2020 From 2010-2020 : 14 bcm (SC/AC - 11%)
• Will lead Supply Cover Storage – 45 days
