SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes change to TTF, NBP balance-of-month gas assessment methodology

Platts is seeking feedback on its proposal to change the last assessment day for the daily Dutch TTF and UK NBP balance-of-month gas contracts to align our methodology with industry standards. Our proposal would change the last Platts assessment day for TTF and NBP balance of month contracts to two UK business days before the end of the month. Under the existing methodology, Platts produces balance-of-month assessments for each UK business day. TTF balance-of-month assessments are published on European Power Alert pages 0675, 0676, Natural Gas Alert pages 0825 and 0826, in Platts Market Data category EG and in European Gas Daily. NBP balance-of-month assessments are published on European Power Alert page 0611, Natural Gas Alert page 0808, in Platts Market Data category EG and in European Gas Daily. Platts proposes to introduce the change from July 3. Platts invites comments and queries to power@spglobal.com with copy to pricemethodology@spglobal.com by June 1, 2017.
