Winter Energy Outlook Webinar: Key Insights

Winter 2026/27 arrives amid continued uncertainty across global energy markets.

European gas storage levels, LNG competition, geopolitical developments and weather-related risks could all influence energy prices in the months ahead. For organisations reviewing contracts, renewals and procurement strategy, understanding these market drivers is essential.

Watch EIC Partnership’s Winter Energy Outlook 2026/27 Webinar for a practical assessment of current market conditions, key risks and opportunities, and what they could mean for procurement decisions.

Watch The Webinar

This winter, you need to consider:

  • Storage risk – what lower European gas reserves could mean if demand rises sharply

  • LNG competition – how Europe’s reliance on global cargoes could expose buyers to international price pressure

  • Geopolitical disruption – why events outside the UK can quickly influence gas and power prices

  • Contract exposure – how current procurement positions could be affected by changing market conditions

  • Timing – how current market conditions could influence procurement decisions

Why This Winter Deserves Attention

The UK energy market remains closely linked to wider European and global gas conditions.
As Europe continues to rely heavily on LNG and alternative supply routes, winter pricing can be influenced by events far beyond domestic demand.
In this webinar, John Dawson sets the scene from a trading and market-intelligence perspective, highlighting the signals EIC is watching as winter approaches.
William Oliver focussed on the customer-facing view, drawing on his experience with business energy strategy to explain what those signals could mean for buying decisions.
Together, the speakers explored the key price drivers influencing the energy market in detail as we move into winter.
These included looking at global supply disruptions, LNG competition and lower European gas storage levels, as well as the longer-term outlook for Winter 2026/27
