European energy market prices increased in the first week after the attack on Iran

In the first week of March, prices in most major European electricity markets increased compared to the previous week and most markets reached weekly averages above €80/MWh. Italy and the United Kingdom registered the highest daily price since February 2025. Higher gas prices, as a consequence of the conflict in Iran, supported these increases. TTF gas futures registered the highest settlement price since February 2025, while Brent futures reached their highest level since September 2023.

Hybrid models: how to incorporate the real equilibrium of the electricity market into fundamental models

In electricity markets, many fundamental models fail not because of the physical operation of the system, but because they do not reproduce the real equilibrium that ultimately determines the price. A hybrid approach that combines a fundamental structure with statistical models, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning makes it possible to capture temporal dynamics, non-linearities and regime changes, improving the price signal and its distribution for investment and hedging decisions.

From the day ahead market to the intraday market: what the comparison between PDVP and PHFC reveals in a solar thermal power plant

The evolution of electricity markets is reflected not only in hourly prices but also in the internal dynamics of the scheduling of generation units. In an environment characterised by greater volatility, increasing renewable energy penetration and continuous adjustments between markets, the difference between the Provisional Viable Daily Program (PDVP for its acronym in Spanish) and the Final Continuous Hourly Program (PHFC for its acronym in Spanish) becomes a relevant indicator of strategic behaviour. The analysis of data for the period 2023 to 2025 for a solar thermal power plant makes it possible to observe how the initial scheduling from the day-ahead market evolves after intraday trading, revealing adjustment patterns that provide valuable information about operational flexibility and economic optimisation.

Gas and CO2 down and record renewable energy production drove price falls in European electricity markets in February

In February, monthly prices declined in most major European electricity markets, with the exception of the Nordic market. Several markets registered their lowest monthly average in recent months, notably the Portuguese market, which reached the lowest price in its history within the Iberian MIBEL market. The fall in gas and CO2 prices, the latter registering their lowest monthly average since September, together with lower demand compared to January in most markets, supported this trend. In some cases, increased renewable energy production also contributed to the price drops. France, Italy and Portugal registered their highest-ever wind energy production for a month of February, as did Italy for photovoltaic energy production. Brent futures reached their highest monthly average since August.

HYBRID SYSTEMS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY AND BATTERIES
At AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, studies, analyses and reports are carried out for hybrid systems, mainly of solar photovoltaic energy with batteries, but also of solar photovoltaic energy with wind energy, and of the three, solar photovoltaic energy, wind energy and batteries. The objective of these studies, analyses and reports is defining strategies for optimising the operation of hybrid systems to maximise their income. In addition, the estimation of future income is made taking into account the defined strategy and long term hourly market price forecasts.

ALEA ENERGY DATABASE (ALEAAPP)

At AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, the Alea Energy DataBase (AleaApp) was developed, an online platform which compiles the data from the energy markets and the macroeconomic data from the main European markets, helping and facilitating the digitalisation of the companies. In this tool it is possible to visualise and analyse the data through comparative graphs of variables, calculation of the moving average, changes in the temporality of the series, among others.
