European electricity market prices resist rising gas and CO2 prices thanks to renewable energy

In the third week of March, European electricity market prices remained at similar levels to those of previous weeks. In most of them, the weekly average decreased compared to the previous week due to low prices registered at the end of the week as a result of high wind energy production and lower demand on those days. Solar energy production increased in most markets, reaching the all time record of daily photovoltaic energy production for a March month in France and Italy. Gas and CO2 prices increased.

Photovoltaic energy in March has already reached the levels of August last year in the Iberian Peninsula

In the second week of March, prices in European electricity markets showed few variations compared to the previous week, except in the MIBEL market, where they doubled. Even so, the Iberian Peninsula registered the lowest prices. Photovoltaic energy production in Spain and Portugal reached the levels of the end of August and set another record for a March month. Wind energy production fell in most markets. On March 14, Brent futures reached their highest price since early November, $85.42/bbl.

Commitment to photovoltaic energy in Europe results in record figures for a March month in several markets

In the first week of March, solar photovoltaic energy production reached the highest daily value for a March month in history in most major European electricity markets. This did not prevent weekly average market prices from being higher than in the previous week, supported by higher demand and gas and CO2 prices, as well as lower wind energy production in most markets. The MIBEL market registered the lowest prices again and on Sunday, March 10, it reached the lowest price since February 2014.

Wind energy drives Spanish electricity market prices to their lowest week ever

In the week of February 26, prices in the European electricity markets were higher than in the previous week. The exception was the Iberian market, where prices fell and were the lowest, something that has been happening since February 18. Weekly Iberian wind energy production was the highest since October, which led to the lowest weekly average price ever in Spain. Gas and CO2 prices halted the downward trend and increased compared to the previous week.
