Continental Power Edged Up on Nuclear Shortfall in September - Seite 2

While day-ahead power prices perked up in September, forward curve contracts illustrated just how weak underlying commodity markets have become, said Andreas Franke, Platts managing editor of European power.

"German year-ahead power traded September 25 at €29.30/MWh, the lowest for a front-year power contract since October 2003," Franke said. "Front-year coal into Europe has dropped below $50/metric ton for the first time since Platts started assessing the contract in 2007."
