SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to change European power day-ahead close

Following a period of consultation, Platts has decided to close all European and UK electricity day-ahead assessments including day-ahead plus assessments (day-ahead +1, +2, +3, +4) at 11:00 am London time, effective January 2. The change of timestamp, from midday London time currently, is to better align Platts day-ahead assessments with existing trading practice and upcoming market coupling arrangements. Platts will continue to publish the day-ahead assessments after 4:30 pm London time in European Power Alert, in Platts market data, and in European Power Daily along with all other power periods and product assessments. Platts weekend and week-ahead assessments, reflecting weekend power prices and whole week periods, will continue to be assessed at the close of business 4:30 pm London time on each weekday including Fridays.
