HydroWingas and Gazprom are beginning to recruit large industrial gas customers in the UK as both of these companies have significant investment in new or upgraded import infrastructure. Since the market that they are moving into is already both specialised and crowded, their entry will cause a shake-up.

Highlights



Gas import infrastructure is increasingly becoming a crucial element to UK wholesale gas supply. There are a number of projects that are currently being bought online which should provide a surplus of capacity.





However the last couple of UK winters have demonstrated that capacity is not automatically equivalent to volume and that significant market barriers to UK gas supply remain within the EU.





The entry of these companies with their large equity gas reserves into the UK market will crowd the market for the buyers with the largest consumption, which will force other suppliers who are currently competing in this area to reconsider their strategy.
