UK natural gas futures broke above the 400-pence-a-them mark, a level not seen since their March peak, underpinned by prospects of further supply disruptions and elevated demand from the EU. A historic drought triggered by an arid summer that set heat records across Europe threatens to halt energy shipments along the Rhine River, exacerbating concerns in an already tight market. On top of that, Russia's Gazprom reduced flows through the Nord Stream pipeline, citing issues with turbines, delivering only 33 million cubic meters daily, roughly 20% of its capacity, forcing European buyers to find replacements like LNG. Still, the channels linking Britain to the EU have been working at maximum capacity. The UK has been using its excess regasification capacity to import more LNG and resell it as natural gas to Europe.
