| Prompt power prices were traded down yesterday under lower demand conditions. Day-ahead prices were down also on improved renewable supply conditions. The outlook is generally stable. In Germany, more limited wind supply could support market prices. | UK power prices are tracking gas prices and have followed the downward trend. Front end prices are falling considerably, as wind generation has increased for this weekend. Weakness in coal and carbon prices has also added weight to the curve as other fuels see decreases. |
