Open ERA Group's original report ↗A market update focused on the UK and the European energy market. The report is dated 23 August 2026 and describes the situation at the time of writing.
It looks at how supply risk, gas storage levels and infrastructure affect pricing, and at the link between gas and electricity prices where power generation depends on gas. It also covers the growing share of network and infrastructure costs within the total cost of electricity.
This is a time-bound market report rather than an evergreen analysis. Its figures relate to the UK and European markets and should not be read as Swedish energy market data. For current detail, refer to the original report.
