| Gas prices continued to ease down during Thursday’s session, helped by a weaker demand outlook and a lack of positive indicators on global markets. Coal, carbon and oil prices all traded lower and applied additional bearish pressure to the back of the curve. | Power prices were dictated by other energy markets, with coal, carbon, oil, gas and feedstocks all ending the session at a discount. A slight uptick in wind levels was also forecast today, although this was expected to coincide with less solar availability. |

| The UK gas system is oversupplied this morning as demand is down and renewables have picked up marginally. Commodity markets also continue to weaken and losses can be seen across the gas curve. | Renewable generation is up this morning, although the improvement is minor, however this has helped to weigh on the prompt with an oversupplied gas system also having an impact. Meanwhile, commodities continue to move down and power prices have opened lower. |
