There is still a backlog of LNG tankers awaiting unloading in Germany. This should help. The main issue with LNG is the rate of unloading. Since there are another two terminals that should open this winter it should mitigate that a lot.
And this is a really big deal for next winter - when the gas problems are likely to really bite - This will be done by next August, or earlier, as its just a short hop over the Pyrenees from Hostalrich to Marseilles.
Spain has the biggest LNG facilities in Europe; with this plus some Franco-German pipeline work there should be no unloading backlog.
And LNG is about 5 times as expensive. That shock goes through the whole European economy. And we blew up Nordstream with the Brits and poles. Enjoy!
Our power and gas bill for this last month is over 30% higher this year than last. The price per therm for gas went up and the price per KWH for electricity went up as well. The average temperature for the 30 days billed went down 6°F as compared to last year which caused our consumption to go up. The combination of higher prices for energy and increased consumption from colder weather resulted in the 30% increase as compared to last year. But our plight is much better than those in Germany and even those living in other regions in our own country.
