1 European Gas Market State and Prospects: View from Gazprom Export Sergei Komlev Head of Contract Structuring and Price Formation Gazprom Export Flame Conference Amsterdam, April 15, 2015

2 Short-Term Trends on the European Far Abroad Gas Market Consumption, Indigenous Production, Imports, and Gas Withdrawals Bcm Changes, bcm Changes, % Consumption % Indigenous production* % Net gas UGS withdrawals/injections** Imports*** % Gas consumption in Europe dropped by 10.2% in 2014 compared with On the supply side this decline was partially offset by a significant reduction in indigenous production. European companies injected 9.9 bcm more than withdraw out UGS in 2014 as response to a decrease in demand. In 2013 withdrawn volume was nearly equal the injected one. According to preliminary data, Far Abroad countries reduced import by 27.8 bcm. * Indigenous production includes Norway ** Plus means that withdrawals exceed injections and vice versa *** Consumption = Domestic Production + Gas withdrawals/injections balance of UGS + Import requirements.

3 Major Factors Affecting Gas Consumption in Europe Weather conditions (cold and long winter, hot summer) 2. Economic recovery 3. Use of gas in power generation Total consumption y-o-y: -1.6% -10.2% ZMB 3 3

6 Demand for Gas in Power Generation Demand for Gas in Power Generation for Six EU Countries Bcm Changes, bcm Changes, % Total gas consumption % Gas consumption in power generation Share of electricity generation in gas consumption Gas consumption in other sectors % 19.9% 19.3% -0.6 p.p % *EU Countries: Germany Italy United Kingdom Netherlands France Spain In 2014 demand for gas in power generation in six EU countries dropped by 17% or 3 pc above average. Power generation sector accounted for 20% of the demand in Sources: PIRA, Estimates by Gazprom Export LLC ZMB 6 6

7 Renewables are Eroding Share of Gas in Power Generation Other trends are the growth of coal and lignite and decline in nuclear electricity generation Source: IEA ZMB 7

8 Electricity Prices in Germany are High due to Renewables In Germany electricity prices for households are the highest in Europe. They are twice as high a EU 27 average price and tend to grow Prices for industrial users are higher by 32% compared to EU average *Industrial Consumers prices are given for the band with consumption from MWh to MWh *Private Households prices are given for the band with consumption from 500 kwh to kwh Source: Eurostat ZMB 8

9 Demand for Gas Would Return to Germany Due to: Natural Gas in Power Generation Rebound (aging coal plants, necessity to reach environmental goals, and refusal from nuclear energy) Small-scale CHP (low-cost energy and tax benefits) Broader use of LNG in bunkering and road transport (lower prices and environmental restrictions) Source: BCG Target Scenario Source: GPG calculation ZMB 9
