Prices in European electricity markets fell at the end of July with increased solar and wind production

In the last week of July, prices in most European electricity markets fell thanks to increased solar photovoltaic and wind energy production, as well as lower demand in several countries. Daily solar generation records for the month of August were broken in Spain, Italy, Portugal, and France. In the fuel and CO₂ markets, futures experienced volatility, closing with values close to those of the previous week.

Latvia to get solar-power boost as energy company Sunly receives almost €85 million international financing

Latvia is set to get more clean energy as a result of almost € 85 million in international financing for renewable-electricity provider Sunly. Estonia-based Sunly will use the loans from the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and SEB to build four solar parks in Latvia with total capacity of 329 megawatts (MW) – enough to meet the annual electricity consumption of up to 180,000 households.

Galp installs 74 MW of batteries to store energy in Spain and Portugal

The batteries under construction in the Alcoutim (60.5 MWh / 120.4 MWh) and Manzanares (13.4 MW / 26.8 MWh) clusters will be added to the 5 MW / 20 MWh already operational in Alcoutim from early 2025. The entry into operation of Galp’s two solar farms in Toledo and Ahín y Almaraz (Spain), with a combined capacity of 115 MW, brings its solar energy production total to 1.7 GW.

European electricity markets register declines in the fourth week of July with higher wind energy and lower solar photovoltaic energy production

During the fourth week of July, solar photovoltaic energy production decreased in the main European electricity markets, while wind energy production increased in many of them. Electricity demand fell in several key markets, leading to a widespread decline in electricity prices. Brent oil and gas futures also dropped, and CO₂ emission allowance prices showed slight fluctuations.
