The Christmas effect and the increase in renewable energy production put downward pressure on European electricity market prices
In the fourth week of December, prices in most major European electricity markets declined compared to the previous week, with weekly averages below €85/MWh. Lower demand during the Christmas holidays, together with higher wind and solar energy production, drove this decrease. Photovoltaic energy reached all-time highs for a December day in Germany, Italy and France. Meanwhile, CO2 futures registered their highest settlement price at least since October 2024.

Data Centers and the future of electricity demand
The explosive growth of Data Centers has turned them into one of the most significant sources of electricity demand on the global stage, and their role in the electricity system is only just beginning. They are expected to continue expanding in the near future, with an even greater impact on demand. But what does this mean for the energy transition?

Moderate increases in European electricity market prices in the third week of December due to higher demand and rising gas and CO2 prices
In the third week of December, prices in most major European electricity markets rose slightly compared to the previous week, in many cases exceeding an average of €85/MWh. Higher demand due to colder temperatures and rising gas and CO2 prices drove this trend, in a context of higher wind energy production and lower photovoltaic energy production. Brent futures registered their lowest settlement price since February 2021, while CO2 futures reached their highest level since at least October 2024.

The automotive sector accelerates towards solid-state batteries as successors to Li-Ion
Lithium-ion (Li-on) batteries dominate energy storage in electronic devices, vehicles and power supply systems. However, the emergence of solid-state batteries promises to revolutionise the sector by offering higher energy density, efficiency and safety, as well as a lower environmental impact. Their development opens up new opportunities for electric vehicles and industry, although it also faces technical and manufacturing challenges that will need to be overcome to enable widespread adoption.

European electricity markets register further price declines in the second week of December amid falling gas prices
In the second week of December, prices in most major European electricity markets fell again compared to the previous week, driven by falling demand and lower gas prices, with the exception of the Iberian market, where prices rose. Despite the weekly declines, several markets registered daily prices above €100/MWh in some sessions. In this context, TTF gas futures registered their lowest settlement price since April 2024, while CO2 futures reached their highest level since early February.

A competitor with ‘astronomical’ qualities for Li-Ion batteries
In a market dominated by lithium batteries, a technology that has always been present is beginning to gain prominence. Nickel-hydrogen batteries, used for decades in space missions due to their extreme reliability, are gaining ground thanks to recent advances that are lowering production costs. Their long lifetime, low maintenance costs and greater safety position them as a solid alternative for the large-scale storage systems of the future.

TTF gas hits its lowest level in twenty months and puts pressure on European electricity markets, which fall in the first days of December
In the first week of December, most major European electricity markets registered week-on-week declines and prices below €95/MWh, with lows in France, Spain and Portugal, although several markets registered daily prices above €100/MWh. In addition, many markets set solar photovoltaic energy production records for a December day, Spain registered the highest daily wind energy production for a December day in four years and TTF gas futures reached their lowest level since April 2024, falling below €27/MWh.

The increase in storage and demand will stabilise the market and drive decarbonisation
The first year of the “five-year period of batteries” has confirmed both the decisive progress of renewable energy and the significant challenges that still persist in the electricity market. This was the central theme of the 61st edition of AleaSoft Energy Forecasting’s monthly webinars, in which experts from EY, Deloitte, PwC Spain and AleaSoft analysed the evolution of the sector, the key role of batteries, demand, regulation and the future of nuclear energy in the decarbonisation process.

European electricity market prices rebound in November, with CO2 rising and gas at its lowest level in months
In November 2025, the main European electricity markets registered price increases compared to October, except for the Iberian market, which registered its lowest level since June. Photovoltaic energy production reached record levels for a November month and wind energy production increased in most markets. Demand rebounded due to colder temperatures. TTF gas and Brent futures registered their lowest monthly averages in months, while CO2 futures reached their highest level since 2023.

Black Friday does not apply to European electricity markets, which keep prices high in the last week of November
In the last week of November, weekly prices remained above €95/MWh in most major European electricity markets, with exceptions in the Iberian, French and Nordic markets. In addition, several markets reached the highest daily levels of recent months. Wind energy production increased in most markets, while photovoltaic energy production declined. On November 28, TTF gas futures reached the lowest settlement price since May 2024 and CO2 futures reached the highest since early February.
