SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes to publish spreads on days of Gregorian calendar and EEX roll date mismatch

S&P Global Platts is seeking feedback on a proposal to begin producing Spark, Dark, Clean Spark and Clean Dark spreads for Germany, and Spark and Clean Spark spreads for Italy for days when there is a mismatch between EEX power contracts' expiry dates and the Gregorian calendar.

To produce these spark and dark indicators, Platts would assess German and Italian month-ahead, quarter-ahead and year-ahead power price components on certain dates each year, and in line with EEX contracts' expiry date calendar.

Platts proposes to publish the spark and dark indicators under the existing Platts symbols in the EM market data category and on the same fixed pages.

Platts is proposing to begin this process on December 28, 2018.

The affected codes are as below:

Spark spread Clean spark spread 45% Eff 50% Eff 45% Eff 50% Eff German (Eur/MWh) Month ahead GEHMA00 AAKBK00 GEIMA00 CGFMA00 Quarter ahead GEHQ100 GEFQ100 GEIQ100 CGFQ100 Year ahead GEHYA00 GEFYA00 GEIYA00 CGFYA00
