LNG prices also increased as a major shale gas producer in the US filed for bankruptcy. | Power prices followed gas and climbed higher yesterday, with carbon also showing a strong increase. An expected drop in wind and solar levels today provided additional support to the prompt, while coal and feedstocks were also bullish. |

| The system has moved closer to balance as colder weather and weaker renewable generation has lifted demand for gas. Prices have settled down slightly following strong gains towards the end of yesterday’s session and the curve is rather flat this morning. | The power curve displays mixed movement this morning as gas is stable and commodities offer little support in either direction. Renewable levels are set to decrease further tomorrow and cooler weather will continue, resulting in further gains on the prompt. |
