SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts launches year-ahead UK power assessments

Effective March 31, 2014, Platts has refocused its UK annual power assessments to reflect changing trading patterns in the electricity market as forward delivery periods migrate to the Gregorian calendar.

Platts has launched daily baseload and peakload assessments of year-ahead calendar power for delivery January 1-December 31, assessed as a midpoint only.

Platts has discontinued its April annual baseload and peakload assessments -- which cover the forward period from April to March -- following the expiration of the April 2014 annual contract March 28, 2014.
