| The majority of gas contracts made gains across the curve yesterday. Cold temperatures, lower power production from wind and rallying carbon prices were all responsible for pushing gas prices higher. | All power contracts mirrored the gains of their gas counterparts yesterday, with the help from a bullish carbon market. Day ahead power prices gained £3.15/MWh, lower wind output playing a big part in this. |

| Gas prices are up in early trading as the system is 22mcm short as flows from the UK LNG terminals dropped by almost 25mcm compared to yesterday.

Building on the £3.15/MWh gains made yesterday, day ahead prices open at £47.10/MWh today. |
