1Komma5 says European wholesale gas hits EUR 68.57/MWh, risking sharp household heating cost increases
  • 1Komma5 market analysis flagged a surge in European wholesale gas, with Dutch TTF front-month at EUR 68.57/MWh on Aug. 24, 2026.
  • Price more than doubled from EUR 31.56/MWh a year earlier, returning to levels last seen in January 2023.
  • Modelled pass-through lifted a new household gas tariff to 14.02 euro cents/kWh from 9.62 euro cents/kWh.
  • Annual bill for 18,000 kWh consumption rose to EUR 2,524 from EUR 1,732, implying EUR 792 in extra costs.
  • End-user impact likely lagged due to supplier hedging, but risk increased if elevated wholesale prices persisted into heating season.
