Amended descriptions of Dutch APX Day Ahead codes

Commodity: Electricity Region: Europe

Platts is amending the descriptions of Dutch APX day-ahead codes to reflect the changes made by the exchange.

The change of spot Peakload and Super Peak is a result of APX-ENDEX integration and brings the spot peak indices in line with the ENDEX derivatives indices as a response to the APX member feedback.

The changes will bring the Dutch Power Peak products in line with the neighboring countries and will help in the process of achieving a unified European Power Market.

APX believes that the continuation of the publication of the Peakload 7-23 Index until December 7 will give the members sufficient time to adapt bilateral contracts according to the new indices.

Situtation before/after 1 August 2009: Peak Index (7-23) / Peakload 7-23 (disappears 7 December) Super Peak Index (8-20) / Peakload 8-20 Off-Peak (23-7) / Off-Peak 20-8

As of August 1, 2009, the following codes will be described as follows:

FROM: AADYN00 NL APX Pk DA Avg Euro AADZE00 APX NL DA Pk Vol APSTD00 NL APX SuperPeak DA Avg Eur/MWh APSVD00 APX NL SuperPeak DA Vol MWh
