Platts to discontinue third-party CERs, keep Nasdaq EUAs

S&P Global Platts has decided to discontinue third-party prices for Certified Emission Reduction (CER) price data effective April 22, 2021, and to keep Nasdaq EU Allowance Unit (EUA) following market feedback and consultation.

Platts originally published the proposal on Jan. 20, 2021 in the subscriber note found here: https://www.spglobal.com/platts/en/our-methodology/subscriber-notes/012021-platts-proposes-to-discontinue-third-party-cer-nasdaq-eua-price-data.

The decision by Platts to discontinue CERs was in response to the change in market conditions and discontinuation of this data from a third party provider.

Codes to be discontinued on April 22:

Price Volume

CER nearest December ECERD17 ECERV17

CER nearest December CERLZ17 CERL017

CER nearest December plus 1 CERLZ18 CERL018

CER nearest December plus 2 CERLZ19 CERL019

Codes that will remain after April 22:

EUA nearest December EUANZ17 EUAN017

EUA nearest December plus 1 EUANZ18 EUAN018

EUA nearest December plus 2 EUANZ19 EUAN019

The prices are currently published in European Power Daily, PEP0485, PEP0578 and PEP0584 on a daily basis.
