Platts proposes to launch Italian baseload power assessments

Platts is proposing to launch daily assessments of the following over-the-counter Italian baseload electricity contracts, effective September 3, 2012: month-ahead, quarter-ahead, second quarter-ahead and year-ahead.

Platts is also proposing the launch of 50% and 60% efficiency spark spread and clean spark spread assessments based on month-ahead and quarter-ahead Italian power and Italian PSV gas assessments.

Platts would apply the market-on-close methodology in line with all other European electricity assessments.

The assessments would be published in Platts European Power Daily, on Platts European Power Alert and in Platts Market Data.
