December 24 EU ETS Climbs 8% On Week

POWER

The December 2024 EU ETS contract edged down on Friday – dropping to a three-day low- amid losses in the European gas and coal markets. Despite this, the contract is up ~8% on the week. Low wind forecasts across France and Germany could support the contract owing to the possibility of increased baseload generation from gas and coal-fired output.

  • TTF Gas JUN 24 down 3.4% at 34.045 EUR/MWh
