The European gas benchmark surged following accusations of Russian supply sabotage and a dispute between Gazprom and its Ukraine counterpart over payments, stoking fresh fears about supply security ahead of the Northern winter.
Underwater explosions causing gas leaks detected in the Baltic Sea damaged the Nord Stream system and forced an exclusion zone to be established off-limits to ships and aircraft. Gazprom threatened sanctions against Naftogaz over a payment disagreement.
Dutch front-month futures jumped more than 22 per cent before closing 7 per cent higher at €186.10 ($277) a megawatt hour. The UK equivalent price rose as much as 34 per cent, and closed 6.2 per cent higher at 255.65 pence a therm.

Russia’s state-run firm warned that Moscow might punish Naftogaz if it pursues arbitration proceedings against Gazprom. Earlier this month, Naftogaz alleged that Gazprom didn’t pay on time, or in full, for gas transportation through Ukraine.
The threat of sanctions added to the tensions that have undermined Europe's energy stability since Russia invaded Ukraine.
