Europe enters 2023 with less market uncertainty than in 2022, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russian imports now represent only 7% of the total Europe gas supply versus 27% in 2021, with limited downside risk beyond the disruption of flows through Ukraine transit. Continued weakness in demand and sustained LNG imports should help Europe to start next winter with healthy storage levels. But there are still risks that Europe could face. Security of supply and affordability will continue to be at the top of policy and corporate decisions. And companies will need to shape their portfolio of gas and LNG contracts and regas capacity. In this insight, we analyse six key trends in 2023 that will shape the European gas and LNG markets.
