The weather is cold and the supply is not allowed to increase the energy shortage of E

(Bloomberg, New York) As the weather turns cold, and energy supply can not keep up with demand, it is expected that the energy shortage of energy in Europe this week will intensify.At present, short -term electricity prices have forced European metal smelting plants and fertilizer manufacturers to reduce production, which pose a threat to the local economic recovery.

Bloomberg reports that the temperature materials of many European countries this week will drop below zero degrees Celsius, which makes the grid that is being dealt with at low wind speed and French nuclear power interruption.To make matters worse, after reducing supply on the weekend, Russia may continue to restrict natural gas flow to Germany through a major pipeline.

Since this year, energy prices have been out of control, of which European natural gas prices have soared about 600%.In France, the delivery of power on Monday has risen to the highest level since 2009, and Germany's electricity prices have reached the third level since the record.

The rise in energy prices has encouraged inflation and allows the policy makers who are trying to curb the transmission of coronary strain Omikon more headaches.The geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine may also further exacerbate the energy crisis.

The president of the Tocker Group Wei Jaming warned last month that Europe may suffer continuous power outages in the cold winter.After that, the French power company announced the suspension of the reactor of 10%of the national nuclear power generation.Affected by the interruption of nuclear power, power producers had to use more natural gas to maintain power supply.However, Russia may continue to restrict natural gas supply, and the current inventory of natural gas storage points in Europe is only 60%of the upper limit, which is the lowest point since the same period.

Traders predict that as the demand in Asia declines, European liquefaction natural gas supply will increase, but because the transfer of goods will take time, this may wait until January next year.
