Scenario brief · v3.2 · 2026-05-10

European winter gas-supply squeeze.

// The hypothesis

A cold European winter coincides with constrained LNG imports and the loss of remaining Russian pipeline volumes, drawing storage down faster than it can be refilled.

45 European markets · gas + power + storage refill

// Modelled impact

Wholesale gas and power prices spike across interconnected European markets; storage exits winter well below the five-year mean, forcing an expensive and competitive summer refill.
