| The gas curve saw a brief return to normality yesterday with no extreme fluctuations, as movement was largely driven by supply fundamentals, rather than the current economical climate. Meanwhile, a drop in coal, carbon and power helped towards some losses in an overall bearish session. | Power displayed a similar curve to gas, with a drop in coal and carbon also pressuring down contracts. High renewable availability helped to weigh on the prompt but expectations of colder weather offered some resistance. |

| The system has moved closer to balance this morning even though demand for gas-fired power is low. Contracts have found some support from a cooler weather outlook and an expected drop in wind generation, with coal and carbon also trading higher. | The Day-Ahead and near curve power prices are up this morning as temperatures and wind levels are set to decrease, although healthy solar availability has limited the impact somewhat. |
