The first half of 2025 leaves records for solar photovoltaic energy production and the highest prices since 2023 in several European electricity markets
In the first half of 2025, the average price in most major European electricity markets exceeded €60/MWh and was the highest since the second half of 2023 in several markets. Rising demand and rising gas and CO2 prices drove this trend. In contrast, increasing wind and solar energy production helped prices in markets further south on the continent to fall compared to the previous six-month period. Half-year solar photovoltaic energy production was the highest ever in the main European markets.

Renewable energy and lower gas and CO2 prices drive down European electricity market prices in the last week of June
In the last week of June, prices in the main European electricity markets fell compared to the previous week. Nevertheless, the British, Iberian and Italian markets reached daily prices above €100/MWh on some occasions during the week. The drop in gas and CO2 prices, along with an increase in wind energy production, contributed to the decline in electricity prices. In addition, solar photovoltaic energy reached all-time daily production records in Spain, Portugal and Italy.

Is today’s electricity system the same as 20 years ago?
Spain's electricity system has changed dramatically over the past two decades with the rise of renewables and self-consumption. However, the grid has not always kept pace. In a context of distributed generation and bidirectional flows, modernising the grid, digitalising infrastructure and strengthening planning are urgent to ensure stability and progress towards a 100% renewable system.

The heatwave points to a summer of high electricity demand and upward pressure on prices
The Iberian Peninsula faces a summer marked by high temperatures, with potential record highs and a direct impact on electricity demand, renewable energy production and market prices. Adding to this scenario are geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which could drive up gas prices and worsen volatility. In this context, the importance of large consumers adopting hedging strategies is reinforced, as a way to protect themselves against market volatility and price spikes.

European electricity markets begin to leave low spring prices behind as temperatures and gas prices rise
In the third week of June, prices in most major European electricity markets rose compared to the previous week and exceeded €70/MWh. In the British, Iberian and Italian markets, prices exceeded €100/MWh on several days. The rise in gas prices, whose futures marked their highest settlement price since April 3, was one of the causes of the upturn, together with the increase in demand due to the rise in temperatures. Photovoltaic energy registered all-time production records in Germany and France, and the highest value for a day in June in Portugal. Brent futures reached their highest settlement price since January.

Utilities and IPP: the convergence in the new energy age
The transformation of the electricity system has blurred the boundaries between traditional utilities and IPP. In an environment marked by electrification, price volatility and increasing renewable energy penetration, both players are converging on strategies that combine investment in energy storage, digitalisation and collaboration. Forecasts of prices, demand and renewable energy generation have become a common strategic tool, essential for investment decision-making, operation and short, mid and long-term planning.

Gas and CO2 futures reach maximums since April and push up European electricity market prices in the second week of June
In the second week of June, weekly average prices in most major European electricity markets were above €50/MWh and increased compared to the previous week. Even so, most markets registered negative prices, mainly during the middle hours of the day. On Friday, June 13, gas, CO2 and Brent futures reached their highest settlement price since at least the beginning of April. Solar photovoltaic energy registered an all-time production record in Germany and the highest value for a day in June in France and Italy.

Price forecasting, a strategic tool for retailers in the energy transition
In the midst of the energy transition, retailers are facing new challenges: increasing penetration of renewable energy, electrification of demand and a more volatile market. Short, mid and long-term price forecasts have become a key tool for optimising operations, structuring long-term contracts such as PPA and designing competitive offers tailored to evolving client needs.

Energy storage aids, a boost for the development of renewable energy
The new call for aid from the IDAE, with a budget of €700 million, aims to promote the deployment of energy storage at a critical moment for the photovoltaic sector. The increasing pressure of zero and negative prices, the lack of financing for projects and the slowdown in the PPA market make storage a strategic solution to improve the profitability of renewable energy projects.

June starts with electricity market price increases and records for photovoltaic and wind energy in Europe
In the first week of June, prices rose in most major European electricity markets, although hours with negative prices persisted. Renewable energy production set milestones: Spain reached an all-time record for photovoltaic energy generation, and Portugal, France and Italy registered highs for a day in June. Germany stood out with its highest daily wind energy production for this month. Demand increased in most markets, and CO2 and Brent futures rebounded to multi-month highs.

European electricity market prices were the lowest since November and photovoltaic energy set records in May
In May, prices in the main European electricity markets reached their lowest levels since at least November. The Spanish market registered the lowest monthly average. Solar photovoltaic energy production set all-time records in Germany, Italy, France and Portugal, while wind energy production grew year-on-year in several markets. Electricity demand fell, CO2 prices declined and gas prices were around those of April.

Electricity market prices rise in southern Europe in the last week of May despite falls in most European markets
During the last week of May, prices fell in most major European electricity markets, although they rose in the Iberian, French and Italian markets due to increased demand and lower wind energy production. Solar photovoltaic energy production registered all-time or May highs in several markets, which helped to contain prices in some cases. In terms of demand, holidays and high temperatures led to declines in the north and increases in the south. Gas and CO2 prices fell compared to the previous week.
