Introduction

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.

Scope

Information about issues with the UK wholesale gas market
Roundup of the import infrastructure and its stakeholders that are coming online
Insight regarding the likely entry strategy of HydroWingas and Gazprom into the UK
Data on the degree of specialisation and target market segments of gas suppliers

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.

Reasons to Purchase

Consider what impact the entry of Gazprom and HydroWingas will have on the UK gas market
Learn about the options that these entrants will have to sell their gas on
Lay out the target segments of the UK B2B gas market for various gas suppliers

DATAMONITOR VIEW: CATALYST; SUMMARY; METHODOLOGY
ANALYSIS: Gas import infrastructure is increasingly important; New entrants with import infrastructure need to sell their gas; They will crowd the market for the very largest consumers
