Energocom estimates October gas price at 76.35 euro/MWh, below ANRE’s calculation

Energocom estimates the price of gas for firm volumes contracted for October at about 76.35 euro per MWh. ANRE’s calculations for the fourth quarter assumed an average purchase price of 78.94 euro/MWh. Even so, the cost is 16% higher than in September and almost 87% above the average purchase price for the first nine months of the year.

The estimate is based on the average daily values of the TTF Front Month index in September: on 30 September, Argus fixed the quote at 75.516 euro/MWh. A margin for external suppliers of about 0.83 euro/MWh is added. The figure covers only the cost of gas at source, excluding transport, capacity booking and other logistics up to Moldova’s border. Since 1 October, the regulated price for households has risen from 20.30 to 26.14 lei per cubic metre including VAT — the second increase in a month.

What it means for you

• Gas at source is still much more expensive than early in the year: businesses that heat premises with gas should budget the cold season with a margin.
• The gap with ANRE’s estimate is small, and the final price also depends on logistics costs.
• Businesses with high consumption should cost out energy-efficiency measures and alternative heat sources.
