Subscriber note: Platts reviews Polish electricity assessments

Platts introduced daily baseload and peakload Polish power assessments on July 1, 2010, designed to reflect the growth in the Polish power market for OTC products for physical delivery. Liquidity has grown in various periods but is significantly absent in the far months (Month-Ahead+1 and Month-Ahead+2). Platts seeks feedback by August 30, on a proposal to discontinue assessing Month-Ahead+1 and Month-Ahead+2 contracts by the end of November 2013.

At the same time Platts seeks feedback on a proposal to publish the remaining periods: day-ahead, week-ahead, front-month, front-quarter and year-ahead, as a single mid-point value in Zloty/MWh and Eur/MWh, rather than a high-low range as it is currently published in European Power Daily and European Power Alert. Please send comments, questions and feedback about these proposals to Petra Witowski at petra.witowski@platts.com, copying pricegroup@platts.com and power@platts.com
