Monitoring the evolution of the cost of electricity and other fuels is one of the issues of greatest interest to the public, being particularly critical for the energy-intensive industry, for which electricity is one of the fundamental raw materials in its production process.
In order to contribute in a simple and objective way to the dissemination of the evolution of energy costs in industry, the AEGE barometer shows the prices of the national spot and forward electricity market and of the main European electricity markets, as well as the price evolution of other relevant segments in the final electricity bill paid by industrial consumers, such as adjustment services and capacity payments.
Finally, the prices of the main fuels or commodities of the energy sector are shown, such as the price of Brent crude, API#2 coal, the European reference natural gas market (TTF) or CO2 emission allowances , all of which influence to a greater or lesser extent the final price of the electricity market.
The information presented in the barometer is updated weekly.
