Subscriber note: UK dark, clean dark spread methodology clarification

Platts has adjusted the formula for how the UK month-ahead + 1 dark and clean dark spreads are calculated to reflect the use of UK power calendar conventions as the basis for its forward dark and clean dark spread assessments. Until the EFA and Gregorian calendars are aligned, Platts will be extrapolating a month-ahead + 1 value for coal when necessary. The assessments are published in Platts European Power Daily, Coal Trader International, on Platts European Power Alert and in Platts Market Data.
