Wood Mackenzie: Middle East Conflict Fuels European Power Price Volatility

Wood Mackenzie analysis indicates that the Middle East conflict is driving sustained volatility in European power markets, with TTF gas prices above €50/MWh passing through to electricity prices. Despite structural changes and increased low-carbon supply since 2022, gas generators continue to set marginal prices frequently. The disruption removes approximately 1.5 Mt of LNG weekly from global markets, equivalent to 19% of global exports. TTF day-ahead gas prices surged above €55/MWh on March 9, 2026, following a force majeure declaration. European gas storage is 10% below last year's levels. The ability for Europe to switch from gas to coal-fired generation has significantly declined, meaning a 77% gas price increase now only reduces gas generation by 5%. This shift has traded one vulnerability for another, with gas price shocks having a harder impact due to reduced alternative supplies.
