AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Strait of Hormuz Pressure: Iran says it’s battling a major oil spill near Qeshm Island, with reports of coastline and coastal waters affected and concerns for mangroves and sea turtle nesting areas as war-linked shipping risks continue. Oman Spill Watch: Oman’s Environment Authority reports about 12 km of coastline affected near Ras Madrakah, with monitoring of fish and seafood safety ongoing and Masirah Island largely unaffected so far. Oil Prices & Shipping Risk: Crude rose more than 1% after tanker attacks and stalled peace talks, with Brent settling at $88.52/bbl and WTI at $82.40/bbl, while LNG prices in Asia ticked up as Hormuz reopening hopes faded. Bangladesh Gas Supply: Petrobangla says it supplied 2,443 mmcfd to the grid, relying on domestic output plus regasified LNG from two floating terminals after disruptions. Philippines Waste-to-Energy: President Marcos orders waste-to-energy rollout within 18 months, pushing a larger auction target under the Green Energy Auction Program. South Africa Gridlock: South Africa plans big wind/solar/nuclear additions but warns transmission-line shortages could “gridlock” the green transition. Clean Tech Funding: Form Energy secured $750m to expand its West Virginia battery factory, targeting longer-duration power storage. Iran Renewables Momentum: Iran reports renewable capacity has surged past 5,800 MW despite sanctions and attacks, with targets rising further into 2027. Fuel Prices at the Pump (US): GasBuddy spot checks show mixed but generally easing US gasoline levels in mid-August, with ongoing volatility tied to Middle East shipping and crude moves.
