SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to replace German/Austrian power futures with Germany-only futures from October 1, 2018

S&P Global Platts is seeking feedback on a proposal to replace the use of EEX German/Austrian (DE/AT) power price component in several tables and publications with Germany-only (DE-only Phelix) settlement prices from October 1, 2018 due to the German/Austrian price zone split and a shift to the DE-only futures as the new German reference exchange product.

Platts is proposing to use DE-only Phelix power prices to derive the German Spark and Clean Spark spreads, German Dark and Clean Dark spreads, Generating Fuel Costs Comparisons and Platts West Africa Crude Market Parity Price. All the affected fixed pages are listed below:

EP0067, EP0068: European Energy Exchange Phelix Futures (Eur/MWh) EP0503: Efficiency-adjusted Platts Cross-Fuel Comparisons EP0220, GC0900, EP0222, GC0902: Platts German Dark Spreads (Eur/MWh) EP0641, NG0834, EP0668, NG0835: Platts German spark spreads (Eur/MWh) EP0502: Efficiency-adjusted Platts Cross-Fuel Comparisons MH1270: Platts West Africa Crude Market Parity Price

The spark and dark spread indicators are published in European Power Daily, Power in Europe, European Gas Daily, Coal Trader.
