S&P Global Platts European Power Webinar – Autumn 2018

Date: Wednesday, October 31, 2018
Time: 2 pm GMT

Western Europe’s power markets will see fundamental changes in the next five years, with the expected closure of nuclear and/or coal capacity in Germany, France, the UK and elsewhere. Nuclear closures will leave a deficit of large scale ‘baseload’ capacity, while the phase out of coal capacity will limit the power market’s flexibility to respond to volatility in demand and growing renewable output. Meanwhile the UK is expected to triple its power interconnection capacity with mainland Europe by 2025, potentially transforming power market dynamics not only in the UK but across western Europe.

Join members of our S&P Global Platts Analytics European power team for an invaluable webinar focused on explaining the likely impact of plant closures and increased interconnection on Europe’s power markets. The webinar will also examine how the supply mix and prices are likely to evolve in the coming years.

S&P Global Platts European Power Webinar will cover the following topics:

  • What will the Western European fuel mix look like in the 2020s?

  • How will markets respond to coal/nuclear closure programmes?

  • With UK interconnector capacity to the rest of Europe set to rise sharply, what does this increased interconnection mean for UK and mainland European markets?

  • Q&A

S&P Global Platts European Gas Webinar – Outlook for Gas Year-18

Date: Tuesday, November 6, 2018
Time: 3 pm GMT

After the roller coaster that was last winter, and a summer of exceptional storage injection demand, we’ve seen the end of the bear cycle turn into a bull run, and summer price levels reaching 10-year highs.

Join members of our S&P Global Platts Analytics European gas team for a timely webinar which considers GY-18 and beyond in light of the market pricing in another incredibly tight winter. The webinar will examine price anchors, risks, fundamental scenarios, and whether these record forward price spreads are justified.

S&P Global Platts European Gas Webinar will aim to answer the following questions:

  • How tight is the W-18 balance and are the premiums placed into the curve justified?

  • What risks are there to the S-19 balance? Where should prices anchor with so much uncertainty around end of winter storage stocks and switching (incl. EU ETS carbon pricing)?

  • As Groningen declines and Russian flow pick up, how will the European balance shift in the short to medium term?

  • How will time and geographical spreads evolve as these flows shift, and what does that mean for NBP/TTF?

  • Q&A
