| Gas prices moved down yesterday with direction coming from bearish European markets. A milder weather outlook also continued to weigh on the near-curve, with a flurry on LNG deliveries also a factor. | A drop in carbon, coal, gas and feedstock prices applied bearish pressure across the power curve on Monday. Renewables were also expected to rise over the coming days, while temperatures should sit above the seasonal norm, helping towards losses at the front of the curve. |

| Stronger renewable generation has reduced the need for gas-fired power, while warmer weather should see a decrease in residential consumption. In addition to this, the system has opened slightly long thanks to healthy LNG send-outs and as a result, gas prices display further losses this morning. | Milder weather and improved wind levels have helped prompt power prices to decrease this morning. Biomass feedstocks have stabilised somewhat but weaker gas has contributed to downward movement at the back of the curve. |
