| Temperatures have been revised higher for February, which is expected to ease demand, resulting in losses across the curve this morning. However, unplanned outages at Norwegian facilities and increased storage withdrawals provide resistance. | Power prices also trade lower this morning due to the forecast of milder weather next week. Improved renewable generation is also a factor, with wind levels set to pick up tomorrow, resulting in a loss on the prompt. |
