Leading events in the field of energy in the world and in Russia. November 2, 2026 1 Fuel is getting cheaper because of faith in peace: TTF opened the week in correction The European gas market opened the five-day period in correction. On the TTF exchange in the Netherlands, December futures traded at $1,156 per thousand cubic meters, down 2.91% from the end of the previous session, as brokers renewed their faith in a peace deal between the US and Iran. The European energy companies have moved from a mode of constant extraction of gas from underground gas storage facilities to an extraction-injection mode. The reserves in storage facilities amount to 74.62%, while in Germany the fullness is at the level of 61.03%. The most active download was in Spain, and the sample was in Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic and France. Falling gas and oil prices on geopolitical news show the market is pricing in the possibility of a de-escalation, while modest reserves in underground gas storage facilities in Europe leave the region vulnerable to a cold snap. 2 Winter is in a hurry: the United States is looking for a way to restore gas supplies through Ukraine The United States is advocating a rapid renewal of the supply of Russian natural gas to Europe through pipelines passing through Ukraine as part of the negotiations aimed at ensuring an energy cut for the winter. The Wall Street Journal writes about this with reference to American, European and Ukrainian executives. The publication noted that the special envoy to the US presidency, Steve Witkoff, and the son-in-law of the head of the White House, Jared Kushner, came up with the idea of ​​selling Russian gas through an American intermediary, bypassing the European sanctions. This could be a lucrative opportunity for US investors, sources said. 3 Atom held hostage by grids: Ukraine cuts production The production capacity of nuclear power plants in Ukraine had to be limited due to massive damage to the transmission and distribution stations, said Sergey Nagornyak, a member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Energy and Housing and Public Services. According to him, many Okranergo and DTEK substations are damaged and cannot receive the entire volume of electricity produced at the nuclear power plant.
