Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline stacked in German ports
Overseas network on December 24, according to Bloomberg reported on the 23rd, the cold winter in Europe is experiencing a serious energy crisis, southern Europe Kosovo region began to implement power outages for nearly 2 million users on the 23rd.
The Kosovo Electricity Distribution Company stated that the power system was overloaded, and in order to maximize energy savings, a 2-hour rolling power outage was implemented for most users from the 23rd. The problem of insufficient energy supply has emerged in many parts of Europe. In early December, Serbia was forced to cut off electricity supply to some users, and British network operators issued the first winter energy supply alert.
Soaring gas and energy prices in Europe have forced industrial production to limit production and suppliers to close, further exacerbating the European energy crisis. The chief executive of Swiss commodity trading company Turk warned in November that Europe could experience a series of power outages during the cold winter.
Energy prices in northwestern Europe rose to $57.54 (about 367 yuan) per million British thermal units this week, up nearly a third from last week and $24 higher than Asian prices. Europe's energy prices are soaring, and the focus of U.S. natural gas exports has shifted from Asia to Europe. According to shipping data compiled by Bloomberg, 10 of the 76 U.S. gas cargo ships in transit will sail to Europe, and another 20 cargo ships will also travel across Oceania to Europe. The volume of transportation at the U.S. natural gas export station has been in a state of saturation since the record on the 19th. (Overseas Network Wang Xiaoyu)
