| Gas prices closed at a premium yesterday, with low renewable generation increasing demand for gas-fired power and tightening the system. The majority of contracts were dictated by an increase in carbon. | The system has opened marginally oversupplied this morning, while oil markets are flat following a loss yesterday. Coal markets are also down and gas prices are stable with little to drive the market. |

| Power prices were on the rise during Thursday’s session, pushed higher by stronger gas and carbon markets. Weak wind & solar generation also helped the prompt add to its price. | Most power contracts have opened lower this morning, following a drop in carbon, while gas is largely unchanged and coal has also weakened. Further bearish pressure has been provided by weaker global equities. |
