| A significant rise in wind levels yesterday resulted in a drop in CCGT demand, while residential demand was reduced by milder weather. Meanwhile, the outage at Oseberg was resolved, resulting in a rise in imports to the UK. This increase in Norwegian flows, combined with improved UKCS production contributed to a long system and prices along the near-curve moved down. | An expected drop in wind levels helped the prompt climb higher yesterday, although the rest of the near-curve was pressured down by a mild weather outlook for the remainder of the week. Further out, coal and oil markets remained bullish, limiting any losses. |

| A drop in wind generation has increased CCGT demand today, although overall supply levels remain healthy, helping towards losses at the front of the curve. Residential demand is also slightly higher but imports via the IUK pipeline remain strong. Meanwhile, contracts on the far-curve display small gains as a result of high oil prices. | Day-Ahead power has added to its price once again as colder temperatures are expected tomorrow and wind generation is forecast to fall further. Movement along the rest of the curve is mixed, with stable oil prices and weaker coal helping some contracts shed from their price. |
