Platts to suspend a number of its German THG double-counting assessments

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, will suspend some of its Germany THG double-counting assessments effective Nov. 3, 2025.

This decision follows a proposal published July 22 to discontinue the assessments from Nov. 3.
