Lens Power & Renewables gives you a robust view of how power markets are evolving. But power market outcomes — particularly around generation dispatch, wholesale pricing and system adequacy — are directly shaped by gas market dynamics. Without visibility into gas and LNG supply, pricing and disruption risk, you are modelling the outputs of a system without understanding one of its most important inputs. Lens Gas & LNG provides the fuel market layer that completes that picture, enabling you to stress-test your capacity plans against real fuel market scenarios and make procurement and hedging decisions that are aligned with your longer-term power market view. 

Lens Gas & LNG gives you an authoritative view of global gas supply, demand and pricing dynamics. But for utilities, the commercial and operational implications of gas market movements play out in the power market — in dispatch economics, wholesale price formation and the long-term revenue case for gas-backed assets. Without a connected power market view, you are monitoring the fuel market without fully understanding where it leads. Lens Power & Renewables provides the demand, generation and pricing intelligence that translates your gas market insight into actionable capacity and investment decisions. 

Lens is built as an integrated platform rather than a collection of separate data products. This means the assumptions, methodologies and data inputs that underpin our gas and LNG analysis are consistent with those that drive our power market forecasts — so when you are examining how an LNG supply disruption might affect domestic gas prices, you can also assess the downstream implications for generation dispatch economics and wholesale power prices within the same analytical framework. This connected approach is what allows utilities to move beyond siloed planning. 

Lens Gas & LNG provides continuous visibility into the global supply and demand balance, LNG trade flows, infrastructure risks and price dynamics that determine the cost and availability of gas for generation. It allows you to monitor emerging supply risks, model price volatility scenarios, and assess how changes in LNG export policy or geopolitical disruptions could affect your fuel cost exposure. Used alongside Lens Power & Renewables, you can evaluate not just the cost impact of those risks, but how they interact with your power market revenue outlook to affect overall asset economics. 

Yes. A consistent challenge for utilities is not just making well-informed decisions internally, but being able to demonstrate the quality and independence of the analysis behind those decisions to external stakeholders. Wood Mackenzie's data and methodology are fully transparent and auditable, which means the forecasts, scenarios and market views you draw from Lens can be presented to regulators, investors and boards with confidence. The independence and credibility of Wood Mackenzie's analysis is one of the reasons 10 out of 10 of the UK's top investment banks rely on our intelligence. 

Our approach connects global LNG supply and trade flow modelling with regional gas market analysis and power market fundamentals. When an LNG supply disruption occurs — whether from geopolitical events, infrastructure outages or export policy shifts — our models trace how that affects regional gas availability and pricing, and how those changes in turn affect the dispatch economics of gas-fired generation, wholesale power price formation and the competitive position of other generation technologies. This integrated methodology means you are not separately interpreting a gas market report and a power market forecast — you are working from a connected view of how the two interact.
