It was only for an hour , but the petrol price really did go damaging on Monday . A singular situation that raises questions , even in greenhouse horticulture , consort to a tour of energy specialists . After all , who does n’t want to be pay to corrupt gas ?
An important shape to do good from a minus flatulency price is to have sixth sense into when exactly that gas price is damaging . From the roundup , it appears that we were not the only I who ab initio missed the hour for a while on Monday . When asked , Gerard van Antwerpen of NIFE Energieadvies frankly admits to having miss the import as well as not knowing exactly what the hourly prices are . " About ten years ago , I sleep with that there was talk of an hourly gas price . At that clip , there was talk of an hourly market place for gas in the same way as there is an hourly market for electricity today , but as far as I have it off , this was not enclose for gardening . "
Daily petrol priceWe also put the question about this negative gaseous state cost to John Kruijt of Enova . " Oh , that hour , I saw it pass by , " he responds . He then quickly helps us out of the dream . The disconfirming hourly throttle damage that in short exist stay out of range for greenhouse gardening . " Gas trading by the time of day is not possible with horticulture companies . The lowly unit a grower can achieve is a one - mean solar day price . For that , you have the daily market . " Here , too , the gas price has drop significantly recently , John points out . He see up the current terms on Tuesday good afternoon . " 27.6 cents is the daily gas price today . With that , the price is already almost back to a normal grade of around 20 centime . "
Understanding pricesTwo month ago , the daily gas price was still much higher , around 3 euro . Meanwhile , due to well - stock up gas storehouse facilities as well as meek autumn weather , the gaseous state price is fall importantly . On the TTF market , the various short- and retentive - term price , which are in public available , also show this . However , the daily gas cost , which also fell sharp , is not seeable to everyone . John explains that growers do have insight into the toll through their energy suppliers . engage out a subscription to get insight is also potential , he knows . " Among others , The London Energy Brokers ' Association ( LEBA ) tender that - for from memory - about six thousand euro a year , so a lot of people leave that out of their mind . There is also Heren , but this is only approachable through energy companies . "
Gas consumption per hourGerard points out that there are ' hourly metered customer ' in gardening . These are companies that are charged on the hourly peak or utilise more than one million cubic meters of rude gas per year . " They have had to have a control sign installed so that the provider is capable to supervise gas consumption . The client has had to pay for this . " John point out that ' large connections ' are required to be ' hourly metered . ' Gerard wonderment on Tuesday afternoon who has currently benefited from the minus gas price . " Growers apparently did not , even though they pay for a ascendence sign , " he says .
speak toBNR , economic expert Edin Mujagic of OHV Asset Management calls the hour with the negative gas price " little , but incredibly sport . " As an explanation , he gives full accelerator pedal repositing and sufficient supplies by word of mouth from Norway and by ship . Because broth are full , he says , trader are paid to take gas anyway . However , this does not mean " that all of a sudden we are all get money handed to us because the price was negative for a moment . "

Unused gas sold at day-to-day gas priceThe question is , even if horticulturalists can not do good from a short - terminus negative gas price , how should they now trade in the market place where prices are fall ? John indicate out that having a trading contract is a fundamental requirement for raiser to profit from low casual gas prices . " They can choose how to invest their gas , sometimes years ahead . Those who put gas year ahead in reality corrupt the same amount for each daytime in the declaration period , with the choice of what to do with it on the twenty-four hour period itself . Not using it is then an option . The gas that is not used is sell on the everyday gas marketplace . Recently , damage here were very high . "
sell electricityWhen gas Price are gamy , often electricity prices are also eminent . " A grower with a CHP can also choose to practice gas to make electricity and , provided the electrical energy has not already been pre - sell , provide it back at high-pitched twenty-four hour period gas monetary value . " According to the energy specialist , smaller greenhouse farms often work with contract in which the price is desexualise throughout the year . This gives them security but also makes it impossible to respond sprucely to the daily petrol price .
Declining trendThose companies that do have the option to respond to daily free energy ontogeny are almost shortsighted of centre and ears to supervise all developments in the runaway energy marketplace . Department of Energy advisory company support growers in this esteem . The negatively charged hourly cost , even if the raiser can do nothing with it in concrete terms , does indicate something about what is bechance in the mart . However , the daily gas price is more interesting to keep an middle on . John : " The gas price is falling , that ’s the trend . " He sees that it is an option for growers to ' do nothing for a while , ' and with small Clarence Day gas prices , take advantage of that . " As long as prices are precipitate , it is a consideration to wait to take forward view . presently , the 2027 price is already below 40 cents . Thus , over the next few years , it may also drop to the point where growing becomes an option again , even if there is no power sales event versus making heat with a CHP . "
Buffering?One interrogation is whether growers are wise to take advantage of cheap sidereal day gun by bite it , even though it is warm outside , and soften the rut . After all , in a standardised way , a grower could theoretically have profit from the negative hourly gun Leontyne Price . John points out the limitation here . " The buffer at growers occupy up quite chop-chop . There is ordinarily the only capability to put in heat for a few years . Moreover , you ca n’t hive away heat indefinitely without heating plant passing either . "
