If I was one of the last standing gas fueled energy producer / gas distributor with an energy price of $9k/MWhr I would take any gas price to ensure that I have the last available drop of gas.
The sky high energy price and the collapse of gas supply were the fundamental price drivers. The alternative scenario is that the gas market players were just price gouging. Pick what you want.
