Time stamp for European power, gas assessments

Platts proposes to align the time stamps for all European forward electricity assessments to 16:30 UK time (17:30 CET).

Platts will continue to assess all day-ahead electricity contracts at noon UK time (13:00 CET).

Platts proposes to align the time stamps for all European forward gas assessments to 16:30 UK time (17:30 CET).

Day-ahead European gas contracts will also be assessed at 16:30 UK time (17:30 CET).

For the Zeebrugge, TTF, PEG, EGT and BEB markets this will mean a change from the current noon UK time (13:00 CET) timestamp.
