Bolivia's Energy Crisis Deepens As Natural Gas Reserves Run Dry
Authored by Felicity Bradstock via OilPrice,
Bolivia's dwindling natural gas reserves and declining exports have undermined its economy and intensified fuel shortages.
Rising global energy prices and subsidy cuts have increased living costs and fueled widespread protests.
A $1.9 billion IMF rescue package and energy-sector reforms aim to stabilize the economy, but long-term recovery requires diversification.
Years of underinvestment in Bolivia's gas industry have left the South American country facing a severe fuel shortage, as energy prices rise ever higher owing to the ongoing war in Iran. The energy shortages and economic crisis follow years of poor decision-making by the government.
In 2006, then-president Evo Morales took control of Bolivia's fossil fuel industry, renegotiating contracts with international oil and gas companies and benefiting from the revenue. Much of the country's newfound wealth was invested in publi...

Japan's Electricity Prices Surge 25% As LNG And Coal Costs Soar
Authored by Tsvetana Paraskova via OilPrice,
Japan's average power prices jumped by over 25% at the start of this week from the previous week amid soaring LNG and higher coal prices.
The nationwide power price rose by over 25% week-to-week to $0.19 (31.15 Japanese yen) per kilowatt-hour (kWh) on Monday, Bloomberg reported, citing data from Japan Electric Power Exchange.
Japan, one of the world's biggest LNG importers, this summer reduced gas-fired generation in favor of coal as the price of liquefied natural gas remained elevated.
Japan has been burning more coal and less gas for power generation since the war in the Middle East started, and it is not the only one. All Asian countries have made the switch from gas to coal on affordability and availability grounds.
Moreover, surging oil prices have led to a significant increase in Japan's import bill for oil and LNG.
LNG prices surged in Asia to a four-year high as very few car...

EU NatGas Hits 2022 Crisis Levels As Goldman Warns 150 Euros Could Be Next
Back in late August, Goldman Sachs commodities expert Samantha Dart warned that EU natural gas prices would need to soar dramatically to discourage Asian LNG demand and shift cargoes to Europe amid disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz.
*EUROPE'S GAS BENCHMARK EXCEEDS €90 FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 2022
— zerohedge (@zerohedge) October 20, 2026
Fast forward to Tuesday morning, European gas prices (TTF) have topped 90 euros per megawatt-hour, the highest level since late 2022. Notably, Dart warned about where prices were headed when EU NatGas was trading around 67 euros.
Separately, Goldman's Daan Struyven and Dart released a new note earlier today, putting their base case for Brent crude at $90 a barrel and European benchmark EU NatGas at 70 euros by year-end, assuming a recovery in Middle Eastern supply and easing risk premiums. Brent is forecast to average $80 in 2027.
However, they warned that risks remained skewe...

US Natural Gas Inches Up on Colder Weather, Higher Flows to LNG (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
US natural gas futures increased slightly as forecasts shifted to show colder weather than previously expected across the eastern US, indicating higher demand for the furnace fuel as consumers crank up the heat. Gas flows to liquefied natural gas export terminals on the US Gulf Coast also rose, leaving less gas within the domestic market and adding upward pressure to prices....
