Day forward clears about £260 MWh for peak on Monday. Looks tight, but notas bad as previous days this winter. NGESO chose not to dispatch contingency coal plants on those days so the decision to deploy them now shows a caution for French morning peak.

Octopus have had all their bids accepted for an average of £4,500 per MWh which is higher than the usual £3,000 so its gonna happen.
