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.

The Innovation Gallery will showcase the latest equipment and cutting-edge projects in energy efficiency, renewable energy and electrical installations. The International Week of Electrification and Decarbonisation, which includes the GENERA and MATELEC trade fairs, will take place from 18 to 20 November 2025 at IFEMA MADRID.

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.

At the Global Renewables Summit in New York, Ursula von der Leyen highlighted that Europe already generates 50% of its electricity from clean sources. The EU will allocate €300 billion until 2027 for global energy transition projects.
