August saw considerable volatility across gas and power markets, with 12-month forward prices fluctuating by 2.70% and 3.95%, respectively (non-profiled wholesale rates). Daily price movements were driven by geopolitical tensions, weather patterns, and shifts in global energy supply and demand. In the UK, warmer-than-expected temperatures reduced demand, with wind generation helping to lower reliance on non-renewable sources.
