European traded gas hubs: an updated analysis on liquidity, maturity and barriers to market integration

This Energy Insight provides an analysis on the maturity and development of European traded gas hubs, including both longer-term established hubs and recently emerging ones, both from a liquidity and price perspective, in order to come to an overall assessment of the policy goal of achieving a Single Energy Market for natural gas in Europe. This Insight complements substantial research work undertaken in the last few years by the OIES, and offers an update on both hub liquidity development and hub price metrics to the end of 2016.
