POWER: German Spot Power to Rise
POWER
German spot power is expected to rise on Tuesday with forecasts for lower renewables output and higher demand. Further out, German front-month power is trading higher, shrugging off losses in the energy complex, with slightly cooler weather and a downward revision in wind forecasts. This is also sharply improving front-month clean spark spreads, rising to the highest since January.
