米国天然ガス最新情報:ガス貯蔵量と気象予報の好調を受け、先物価格が上昇

By

-- 米国の天然ガス先物価格は、今週の貯蔵量増加の見通しと比較的良好な天候予報を受けて、木曜日に上昇した。 期近のヘンリーハブ先物と連続ベンチマークはともに0.84%上昇し、100万BTUあたり2.63ドルで取引を終えた。 これは、木曜日に発表される米エネルギー情報局(EIA)の週間天然ガス貯蔵量報告を控えた動きである。Investing.comがまとめたデータによると、今週の貯蔵量は550億立方フィート(Bcf)の純増と予想されており、前週の500億立方フィート、前年同期の160億立方フィートから増加する見込みだ。 一方、NRGエナジーによると、発電用ガス需要は50億立方フィート増加したが、住宅・商業用ガス需要が50億立方フィート減少したことで相殺された。 これは、ここ数週間の温暖な気候が天然ガス暖房需要を押し下げたことが原因とみられる。国内のほとんどの地域で気温が平年を上回ったためだ。 国立気象局によると、その後天気予報は比較的楽観的になり、4月23日から29日にかけて、南部と南東部の一部地域のみが平年より高い気温となる一方、南西部と北東部地域では平年より低い気温になると予想されている。

Global Power Solutions Signs Non-Binding LOI to Evaluate Development of Modular Hydrogen-Powered Energy Project

Global Power Solutions (PWER.V) entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with 2782404 AB LTD to evaluate the potential development of a modular hydrogen-powered energy project, it said Monday.The parties, under the terms of the LOI, will undertake a technical, commercial, and regulatory feasibility review to evaluate the potential development of one or more modular facilities with a potential aggregate capacity of up to about 100 megawatts. The proposed project, if advanced following feasibility review and definitive agreements, could be developed in phased stages."This LOI represents an opportunity to evaluate a potential application of modular hydrogen-powered energy systems within a decentralized generation framework," said Global Power Solutions Chief Executive Peter Medved. "The feasibility process will allow both parties to assess technical configuration, commercial structure, and regulatory considerations before determining whether to proceed toward definitive agreements."The company may establish project-level special purpose entities (SPEs) for the development, ownership, financing, and operation of any project facilities. 2782404 is expected to provide site access information, operational requirements, and anticipated power demand profiles to support the feasibility assessment, while Global is expected to lead the technical evaluation and project development planning.The parties also anticipate that the feasibility process will include engineering studies, site suitability assessments, preliminary financial modeling, and evaluation of hydrogen production, storage, and power generation configurations. If the project proceeds beyond feasibility, the parties, it added, may negotiate a long-term power purchase agreement under which electricity generated by the project could potentially be supplied to 2782404 under a defined commercial framework.Shares of the company closed up 10% to $0.32 on Friday on the TSX Venture Exchange.
