| TTF | nuclear outage risk in Ukraine increases regional power stress and can support gas prices via substitution demand and risk premia | Up1-5d | the IAEA said the plant has lost off-site power and is running on diesel generators |
| U24Y | critical infrastructure stress raises sovereign risk and reconstruction uncertainty for Ukraine-linked exposures | Down1-4w | the plant needs power to keep reactors cool and is relying on backup diesel |
| CEZ | regional power utilities can gain from tighter European electricity pricing while also facing higher system-risk volatility | Mixed1-5d | the outage affects a major nuclear site in the wider European power system |
