Yesterday afternoon , May 30th , it was announce that the Dutch party GasTerra will not be supplied with instinctive gas by the Russian body politic natural gas company Gazprom with immediate effect . Gazprom pronounce it has issue natural - gas provision to the Netherlands since GasTerra turn down to pay off in rouble . What ’s the effect on a market that ’s already dealing with the core of gamy energy prices ?
Last monthsThe Dutch gas cost has been reacting precipitously to news show of supply for months . On the 31st of Mya , the gas damage on the Title Transfer Facility , the Dutch gas trading platform that plays an important role on the European energy stage , open higher than it shut the twenty-four hours before . The day-after-day gas price for July opened some € 3 per megawatt hour higher and then brood around € 94 between 8 and 10 am . Not yet the visor we see last winter , but an increase on top of already high cost .
The gun price for ' winter 2022 ' until May 30th on the Title Transfer Facility , the Dutch gun trading political platform . catch the current price here .
2 billion m3 contracted gasGasTerra , which thus reject to abide by with the Russian ruble demand , argue that on 1 October , the contract with Gazprom expired anyway . About 2 billion m3 of contract gas will not be delivered now . GasTerra says it has anticipated this by buy flatulency elsewhere . Everyone understands that this gas also come at a monetary value .
The Netherlands is fully attached to bringing in liquid LNG as an option to Russian grapevine accelerator pedal . This gas is expensive and can not be bought for the 18 euro cents per three-dimensional meter , for which it was useable until last summer . Because European countries have an obligation to occupy their gas stocks before the winter , the Russian decision means that fill the caudex , which have to be 80 % full before it becomes winter , becomes more difficult , said Dutch Minister Jetten . He hop that the computer storage facilities will be fill in time and is reckon on liquefied natural gas from other countries ( i.e. , the US and Qatar ) . He will provide more clarity on this soon .
Stable and highIt is the umpteenth event in an eventful twelvemonth - but in essence , this word is not so bad , says Bart Setz with horticultural advisory company bQurius , specialize in energy advice . " So much has already happened that the cost is already stably eminent , and , in hypothesis , with this news , there will be no gas . The 2 billion three-dimensional meters less that is get our manner has already been cover via another itinerary , so physically , it does n’t make much difference . What we do see is that every prison term news comes out , sentiment sovereignty , and buying behavior is shown . That drive the price up , and the food market also opened 2 to 3 percent gamy today . "
The contract toll for ' winter 2022 ' is higher than for July 2022 . For ' winter 2022 ' , too , an additional € 3 per megawatt 60 minutes was added , and the Mary Leontyne Price fluctuated around € 100 per megawatt 60 minutes this morn before drop more or less by noon .
The replacement of flatulence caudex for the winter does not seem to be in danger yet due to this circumscribed reaction . But the war in Ukraine is not yet over and can keep on to get uncertainty in gas supplies to Europe . What growers will do this autumn strongly depends on their own energy visibility . " Many are looking at the summer . If it does n’t get any better , some will plant thinner or not even plant at all , but if it ’s undecomposed than expected , they ’ll go full steam forrader . "
Prices for winterOn the other side of the greenhouse , the gross revenue organizations in the veg sphere are busy reach sales agreements for the winter . bargainer evidence us earlier that what is not paid for is not put on the market place . The gas price is also often mentioned in the contract : if it remains high , the selling terms will also be higher . " But if the natural gas cost remains this highschool , it will not be sustainable indefinitely for cultivator . A class like this is really very unpleasant , but the longer it give way on , the more raiser will be force to give up " , Bart expects . This also apply to the ornamental plant cultivation sphere , which now describe for some 50 per centum of bQurius ' clientele .
" The vegetable companies can switch to unexposed culture more easily and can even gain from gamey electricity prices . That is not potential in the ornamental industrial plant finish sphere . " They are also playing it safe a bit more in term of gas purchases . " And we can see everywhere that vigour - bring through bill are being contract more promptly : agriculturalist are switch to LED faster than they had think . They can then continue to provide kindling throughout the winter at somewhat lower costs , and if you do the maths , it is also bizarre how promptly the switch from HPS to LED can be garner back . The energy costs are still considerably eminent than a few days ago , but if you do n’t make the switch , they will be even higher . head really can be a life buoy at the moment . "
No drama , just haste"There are plenty of idea . Solutions are on the table , but it is a race against meter " , Robert - Jan Post of advisory troupe DLVge get laid . Commenting on the minor increment in the gas price this cockcrow , he says this scenario was more or less already taken into account . " The current energy prices have been drive up by the accumulation of intelligence in the preceding six month . It all pop out with the time lag ( and later cancellation ) of Nordstream 2 and the maintenance of the gas word of mouth in Norway . All such news items are passed on in the prices . And this is one of them . "
However , Dutch horticulture is pass very small prison term to counter the higher accelerator pedal prices . He does not expect gardening to have disappeared from Dutch soil in five yr , but haste is call for . " Solutions can be found in energy technology and cultivation technique . There is a strategic plan ready in which geothermic energy , residual heat and electrification ( heat pump ) , steer , and solar energy will play the main roles . It will be a mixture of these forms of zip . And if that can be combined with , for model , LED light and multiple screen cloths and other finish proficiency in the area of dehumidification , get-up-and-go is save up , and winner can be achieved . "
agriculturalist respondThose who are dependent on day natural gas do feel the consequences directly . This was also confirmed this morning by whoever you spoke to from the nursery gardening sector , although they also reacted rather nonchalantly to the word . On behalf of Glastuinbouw Nederland , chairman Adri Bom - Lemstra was heard on NPO Radio 1 explaining that some agriculturist , gauge to be around half , are already sense the effects of potential high gas Mary Leontyne Price as of today . The preceding few days , it has been relatively ' cold ' for the clip of year , and it cost ( surplus ) money to keep the greenhouse climate right for the crops .
peak growersWhereas the large veggie agriculturist have now reached the point that they simply will not go under up any more industrial plant if it is not potential to puff up a fair cost estimation , the situation is more uncertain in the case of efflorescence . They are less collective , not to say sovereign . This applies to rose , for example , which , as will be the grammatical case for many crops , ascertain dark clouds gathering .
" If you do n’t have a stead , it will be very difficult next winter , " says rose grower Hans van den Ende , Van den Ende Roses . Of naturally , it is impossible to say incisively what will fall out , but under more or less the same condition , the ' going cold ' of a strong part of the output is not unimaginable . Whether this is as spectacular as it seems remain to be take in . " I speak to one agriculturalist who has turned off his heating and now said , ' I ’m going to do that every year from now on , ' but of line , not everyone thinks so . "
