| The system has moved closer to balance as wind levels have dropped significantly, lifting demand for gas-fired power. LNG send-outs have improved, preventing the system from falling short and gas prices are little changed this morning as a result. | Power prices are generally stable this morning as gas and coal markets are flat, while oil and carbon have retraced some of yesterday’s gains. |
