China gas and power month in brief: September 2016
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
What has been happening with this summer's gas imports? In July we saw LNG imports crash -17% year-on-year, while pipeline imports from Central Asia soared. One month later and the situation dramatically reversed. LNG imports in August were up around 60% year-on-year, while pipe imports fell by 50%. Deferred cargoes and take-or-pay obligations appear to be behind the volatility. Elsewhere, power demand continues to outperform expectations and China's emerging LNG buyers have been signing more contracts.
