SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts adds Spanish PVB day-ahead and weekend gas assessments

Effective October 1, 2018, S&P Global Platts has expanded the daily Spanish PVB natural gas price assessments by adding a day-ahead and weekend contract.

The Day-ahead contract is assessed daily during the work week, while the Weekend contract is assessed weekly on the last working day of the week. Both assessments are published on European Power Alert page 0823, on Natural Gas Alert pages 0056, in Platts Market Data category EG and in European Gas Daily.

The initial assessments are published in Eur/MWh with the following currency and unit conversions: pence/therm, $/MMBtu and Eur/Gj. Platts will also publish monthly average prices for the day-ahead contract, using the same conversions and will include $/1,000 cu m.

In addition, Platts has also started publishing Spanish day-ahead spark spreads and clean spark spreads with 45% and 50% efficiency, which are published on European Power Alert page 0829 and 0827 and on Natural Gas Alert page 0059 and 0060.
