| Demand is unchanged this morning and Norwegian flows have increased, sending the system long. However, coal and carbon have opened the week higher, helping to lift prices across the curve. | Power contracts are bullish this morning, pushed higher by a rise in EUA contracts, with coal and gas also displaying increases. An expected rise in wind levels tomorrow has weighed on the prompt but the overall renewable outlook is weak over the next 5 days. |
