SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts extends European power midpoint assessments consultation period

Platts has extended the consultation period for its proposal to publish a single value for each of its European electricity assessments in European Power Daily, European Power Alert and Platts Market Data. Platts is now inviting feedback on this proposal by August 10, 2015.

The proposed single value would reflect the midpoint of the current high-low assessment range. The changes would take effect on October 1, 2015.

Platts already publishes midpoint values in GBP/MWh and Eur/MWh for UK power in European Power Daily. Platts assesses the Polish and Turkish electricity markets on a midpoint only basis, with assessments published and databased in Zloty/MWh and Lira/MWh, respectively, and converted to Eur/MWh.

Platts seeks to publish the most relevant price data. Accordingly, Platts proposes to publish price assessments in its European Power Daily newsletter and European Power Alert real-time services that reflect the midpoint values only, effective October 1, 2015, and to no longer display the high and low range.

Under this proposal, Platts would continue to publish a high-low range around its midpoint assessments for European power symbols in Market Data categories EE and PE. Ranges for all contracts would be standardized as follows:

- Primary assessments in Eur/MWh: +/- 25 euro cent. - Primary assessments in GBP/MWh: +/- 15 pence.

Please note that there are no high and low ranges for the Polish and Turkish electricity assessments.

In addition, Platts proposes to database and publish all European electricity assessments to three decimal places, also from October 1, 2015, for European Power Alert and Platts Market Data.

Platts invites feedback, comments and questions by August 10, 2015 to power@platts.com with a copy to pricegroup@platts.com
