中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网2023年5月10日报道，德国最大的公用事业公司之一的意昂集团(E.On)周三表示，能源危机尚未结束，欧洲的能源供应状况可能在今年晚些时候进一步恶化。
意昂集团首席财务官马克·斯皮克周三在这家德国公用事业巨头的第一季度业绩发布会上发表上述讲话的。他说：“欧洲能源危机还没有结束。与目前的市场环境相比，我们的预测也考虑了今年剩余时间进一步恶化的可能性。我们相信，我们有能力应对预计将持续的波动。”
意昂集团在业绩报告中表示，该公司对2023年全年的展望是基于能源危机尚未结束的假设。
意昂集团将继续投资改造德国和欧洲的能源系统，因为“目前的能源危机是我们通往气候友好型能源未来道路上的加速器”，斯皮克如是说。
由于欧洲和亚洲的天然气库存充足，需求不温不火，本周欧洲基准天然气价格延续跌势，开始连续第六周下跌。
欧洲天然气交易基准荷兰TTF中心的即月期货价格在格林尼治标准时间周三上午6时30分跌至每兆瓦时40美元(36.25欧元)。
自今年年初以来，由于冬季天气较为温和，欧洲天然气库存在2022/2023供暖季结束时仍远高于5年平均水平，目前天然气价格已下跌一半。
尽管目前需求和价格都有所放缓，但各国政府和分析人士警告称，欧洲不应自满，能源危机尚未结束。
分析师表示，由于过去一年冬天对天然气短缺的担忧并没有成为现实，因此欧洲天然气价格下跌，欧洲不应该指望另一个比以往更温暖的冬天，也不应该指望来自亚洲的竞争减少，因为它正在为2023/2024年的冬天做好准备。

German Utility Giant Says The Energy Crisis “Is Not Over Yet”
The energy crisis is not over yet, and the situation with energy supply in Europe could deteriorate later this year, one of Germany’s top utility firms, E.On, said on Wednesday.
“The crisis is not over yet,” E.On’s chief financial officer Marc Spieker said at the presentation of the utility giant’s first-quarter results on Wednesday.
“Compared with the current market environment, our forecast also factors in the possibility of a further deterioration in the remainder of the year. We believe we are well-positioned to deal with the volatility that is expected to continue,” Spieker added.
The company’s outlook for the full-year 2023 assumes that the energy crisis is not over yet, E.On said in the presentation of the results.
The utility will continue to invest in transforming Germany’s and Europe’s energy systems as the “current crisis is an accelerator on our path to a climate-friendly energy future,” Spieker said.
This week, Europe’s benchmark natural gas prices extended losses and began a sixth week of declines amid comfortable inventories and tepid gas demand in Europe and Asia.
The front-month futures at the TTF hub, the benchmark for Europe’s gas trading, fell to $40 (36.25 euros) per megawatt-hour (MWh) as of 6:30 a.m. GMT on Wednesday.
Prices have now halved since the beginning of the year after a milder winter, which left European gas inventories at the end of the 2022/2023 heating season well above the five-year average.
Despite the current lull in demand and prices, governments and analysts warn that Europe should not be complacent and that the energy crisis is not over yet.
As fears of a natural gas crunch did not materialize this past winter, pulling European gas prices down, Europe shouldn’t count on another warmer-than-usual winter and less competition from Asia as it prepares for the 2023/2024 winter, according to analysts.
