Abstract: This SIMAT Working Paper deals with an intensively discussed topic in the German natural gas economy: The price-link in natural gas contracts. Because of opposite price developments of the energy commodities such as oil, coal or natural gas, the traditionally used oil price-link is facing a reset. Shifting market dynamics in supply and demand of natural gas are the fundamental reason for that and led to intensive debate between the contract partners.
