Dutch electricity peak assessments replacement

Platts' daily Dutch electricity peak assessments currently reflect the market-on-close value of the 0700-2300 CET peak hours contract.

As trading activity is growing in the 0800-2000 CET peak hours contract, Platts is considering discontinuing the current assessments and replacing them with new daily Dutch peak assessments of 0800-2000 CET instead.
