Renewables, lower demand, and gas prices put downward pressure on European electricity markets in the first week of October

The increase in renewable generation, along with lower electricity demand in most markets and the drop in gas prices, were the main factors behind the price decline. For their part, CO2 futures reached their highest settlement price since mid-February, above €79/t, and Brent futures reached their lowest since the end of May.

The report does not identify inertia issues, but rather voltage control issues. The regulations in force at the time of the blackout did not allow renewables to control voltage, even though they were technically prepared to do so.
