| The system remains slightly long this morning as wind levels have improved, reducing gas-fired power demand. Movement along the near-curve is bearish as a result of this healthy supply picture, although prices at the back of the curve continue to follow coal and carbon markets. | Power prices have climbed higher this morning, supported by bullish coal and carbon as the overall energy complex remains unchanged. Wind levels look inconsistent for the coming week which will likely lead to some price swings at the front of the curve. |
