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

Photovoltaic production reached historic records for a single day in October in the main European markets, and wind energy also reached record levels in several of them. 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 study will develop surveys and debates on aspects related to the energy transition, such as renewable deployment, electric mobility or self-consumption, among other issues. Its results will guide the design of new public policies to drive this transformation and take advantage of the economic and industrial benefits associated with the country’s renewable potential. It will have a total budget of 355,000 euros, of which 70% will be covered by the Institute, while the CIS will assume the remainder.

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.

Castilla-La Mancha generates more than 25% of all its electricity from solar photovoltaic energy and is one of the regions with the greatest room for growth in biomass and energy storage. “The energy transition is not only an environmental opportunity, but also a lever for development and territorial cohesion,” stressed Marina Serrano, president of aelēc, during the conference “Rural Environment: Energy Transition and Economic Integration” held in Toledo.
