The arrival of autumn, with increased demand and lower renewable production, brings higher prices to European electricity markets

In the fourth week of September, weekly prices increased in most of the main European electricity markets, almost all exceeding €60/MWh. The arrival of autumn brought colder temperatures that boosted demand in most markets, in addition to a decrease in photovoltaic production. Wind energy production also fell in several markets. In contrast, wind energy production increased in the Iberian Peninsula, and demand fell in Spain, Portugal, and Italy, which led to lower prices in these markets.

New study reveals path to reshore solar manufacturing in Europe

SolarPower Europe has published a new study with Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE), revealing that the cost gap between Net-Zero Industry Act-compliant modules and Chinese imported modules can be reduced to below 10% with the right urgent policies. The report highlights the risk that, without additional measures, NZIA provisions could support solar supply chain diversification without boosting European solar manufacturers, as there remains a significant cost difference (2.2 to 5.8 €ct/Wp) between NZIA-compliant EU-made and NZIA-compliant non-EU modules.

September 23, 2025Prices fell below €60/MWh in most European electricity markets in the third week of September

Europe
Prices fell below €60/MWh in most European electricity markets in the third week of September

In the third week of September, most of the main European electricity markets registered decreases in their weekly prices, which in many cases fell below €60/MWh, favored by the increase in solar energy production, the recovery of wind energy in Germany and Italy, and the slight decline in gas prices. However, Spain, Portugal, and France bucked the trend with increases, while Italy remained above €100/MWh for most of the week.
