SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes to discontinue German far month electricity assessments, Czech peaks

In view of changing trading conditions in the German and Czech power markets, Platts is proposing to discontinue some of its forward electricity assessments in both markets from August 1, 2015.

In German electricity, Platts is proposing the following far month discontinuations: -German month-ahead+3 baseload and peakload (AAFPD00 and AAFPI00) -German month-ahead+4 baseload and peakload (AAFPE00 and AAFPJ00) -German month-ahead+5 baseload and peakload (AAFPF00 and AAFPK00)

In the Czech electricity market, Platts is proposing to discontinue the following peakload assessments: - Czech week-ahead peakload (CZPTW00) - Czech month-ahead peakload (CZPTM10) - Czech quarter-ahead peakload (CZPTQ10) - Czech year-ahead peakload (CZPTCY1) - Czech year-ahead+1 peakload (CZPTCY2)

Platts is also seeking feedback on a proposal to assess Czech baseload electricity at a differential to the German market for week-ahead and the forward curve. Day-ahead contracts would continue to be assessed on an outright basis.

The assessments are published on European Power Alert pages 58 (German power) and 210 (Czech power), in Platts Market Data categories EE and PE and in European Power Daily.
