Subscriber note: Platts to extend German dark, clean dark assessments by one year

Platts seeks feedback by December 17, 2012, on a proposal to launch a German forward curve assessment for year-ahead +2 in January, 2013. As a result of increasing liquidity at the far end of the curve and the important role German dark and clean dark spread analysis plays in identifying hedging opportunities, Platts is proposing to extend daily assessments of its existing 35% efficiency German dark spread and clean dark spread by one further year (year-ahead +2), effective January 7, 2013. The assessments would be published in Platts European Power Daily, Coal Trader International, on Platts European Power Alert and in Platts Market Data.
