Forecasts for power sector gas demand have been adjusted higher for the rest of 2022

But another basic need, avoiding blackouts, could throw a spanner in the works. Owing to ongoing concerns over a corrosion issue at several French nuclear power plants and persistent rumours that Norway may introduce curbs on its power exports to the UK and continental Europe due to depleted reservoirs, consultancy Energy Aspects has been adjusting higher its power sector gas demand forecasts for the remainder of this year and going into the peak Q1 demand period.
