SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to replace Dutch, Belgian power price assessments with exchange data

Following industry consultation S&P Global Platts has decided to discontinue its weekly Belgian and Dutch power assessments from March 5, 2018, and replace the assessments with daily ICE settlement prices as the European power market has further evolved towards exchange-cleared OTC and exchange-based derivatives trading, thereby reducing the requirement for independent OTC price assessments. The last day of publication of the weekly assessment will be Wednesday, February 28, 2018.

S&P Global Platts remains committed to providing quality market information in all European power markets and will continue reporting on the above markets' activity, news, events and policy as appropriate.

All affected codes and symbols are listed below. Associated monthly average symbols in Market Data category EE and dynamic symbols in Market Data category PE will be discontinued along with the associated spark and clean spark spreads published in European Power Daily, on European Power Alert pages 640, 642, 662 and 664 and in Market Data category EM.

Affected publications are Platts European Power Daily, European Power Alert pages 71 (Netherlands and Belgium) and Market Data category EE.

Platts continues to invite comments and queries to power@spglobal.com with copy to pricemethodology@spglobal.com.
