POWER
Homepagemarkets-real-timeBullet

Australian coal exports to Germany and Belgium are on track to fall by around 52% and 50% on quarter in the 2Q24, data from Marcura show.

  • Australian coal exports to Germany and Belgium have totalled around 92,615/t and 79,800/t, respectively, so far this quarter, down from 197,000t and 160,784/t in 1Q24.
  • Northwest European thermal coal imports fell to a multi-year low in April to 1.88mn tons, down from 2.6mn tons in March due to muted demand, DBX data showed, cited by Montel. This trend was also seen in May.
  • The reason for this was due to “very” poor dark spreads, DBX said at the beginning of May.
  • German hard coal generation has average around 1.89GW so far this quarter, down from 4.15GW in 1Q24.
  • Lower power demand during the quarter has also played a factor in the slowing of Australian coal imports.
  • German power demand has averaged around 49.6GW so far in 2Q24 compared to 55.69GW average across the previous quarter.
