Platts decides to launch UK power day-ahead Block 1+2 assessments

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, has decided to launch a UK power day-ahead Block 1+2 assessment, effective April 3, 2023.

Block 1+2 reflects power supply from 11 pm to 7 am UK time, and it will be an expansion to the current assessed UK day-ahead Baseload, Peakload, and Block 5.

The new price assessment will reflect the prevailing day-ahead value, in GBP/MWh and Eur/MWh, for delivery before the 9:20 am London market close, and be published on a daily basis for UK working days only.

The rest of the methodology will mirror the parameters for other day-ahead assessments, described on pages 2-3 of the European Electricity specifications guide.

UK power day-ahead Block 1+2 will be published on Platts Dimensions Pro (PDP) and fixed pages PEP0041 every working day in the UK.

Platts invites any questions and feedback to power@spglobal.com and pricegroup@spglobal.com .
