Platts updates Conventional Energy Index component weightings for 2026
Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, has updated the weightings for some components under its Conventional Energy Index, following a review of the available statistics, effective Jan 2, 2026.
The index reflects the physical prices of the global primary energy mix from conventional energy sources such as oil, gas, coal and nuclear.
The weightings for these primary energy sources, shown in the table below, have been updated based on the latest annual consumption data for 2024 of the four energy sources published by Energy Institute in its 2025 Statistical Review of World Energy.
The index weightings reflect the proportion of global energy consumption by source, excluding renewables. The weightings are reviewed annually to keep the index representative of global supply and demand trends.
| Energy Source | Previous Weighting | New Weighting (from 2026) |
| Crude Oil | 37% | 37% |
| Gas (including LNG) | 27% | 27% |
| Coal | 31% | 30% |
| Nuclear | 5% | 6% |
The following table describes the components of the Conventional Energy Index, symbols, currencies, the units of measurement and the conversion factors used, where relevant, and the respective weightings.
| Assessment | Symbol | Currency/Unit of Measure | Conversion Factor | Previous Weighting | New Weighting (from 2026) |
| Dated Brent | PCAAS00 | $/b | 5.8 | 18.5% | 18.50% |
| Dubai M1 | PCAAT00 | $/b | 5.8 | 18.5% | 18.50% |
| Dutch TTF Month Ahead | GTFWM10 | $/MMBtu | 1 | 9% | 9% |
| Henry Hub Flow Date | IGBBL21 | $/MMBtu | 1 | 9% | 9% |
| LNG Japan/Korea DES (JKM) | AAOVQ00 | $/MMBtu | 1 | 9% | 9% |
| NEAT | JKTCA00 | $/mt | 27.78 | 31% | 30% |
