SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to discontinue German far-month power assessments

Following industry consultation, Platts has decided to discontinue some of its German forward electricity assessments in view of changing trading conditions.

Platts will discontinue assessing the following far-month contracts from September 1, 2015:

- German month-ahead+4 baseload and peakload (AAFPE00 and AAFPJ00) - German month-ahead+5 baseload and peakload (AAFPF00 and AAFPK00)

Platts will continue to assess the German month-ahead+3 baseload and peakload contracts (AAFPD00 and AAFPI00). Assessments reflect over-the-counter trade for physical delivery.

The assessments are published on European Power Alert page 58, in Platts Market Data categories EE and PE, and in European Power Daily.

Platts would like subscribers to note that EEX Phelix financial settlement prices for the German month-ahead+4 and month-ahead+5 baseload and peakload products can also be found on European Power Alert page 67, in Platts Market Data category ET and in European Power Daily.

Platts continues to invite comments and questions to power@platts.com with a copy to pricegroup@platts.com and petra.witowski@platts.com.
