Gas, CO2 and demand drive first quarter European electricity market prices to two year highs
In the first quarter of 2025, prices rose in most major European electricity markets. In several markets, the quarterly average price was the highest since the second quarter of 2023. One of the main drivers of this rise was the increase in gas prices, whose quarterly average was also the highest since that date. Rising CO2 prices and electricity demand also contributed to the upward price evolution. Solar photovoltaic energy registered record generation levels for a first quarter in the main European markets, while wind energy production declined year on year.

The Iberian market registers the second lowest price in Europe in the last week of March and sets a historical hourly minimum
In the last week of March, prices fell in most major European electricity markets. Declining demand and falling gas and CO2 prices drove these declines. In contrast, the fall in wind energy production caused prices to rise in some markets. The increase in photovoltaic energy production meant that MIBEL was among the markets with the lowest weekly prices, second only to the Nordic market, and registered the lowest hourly price in its history, -€5.21/MWh in Spain and -€4.00/MWh in Portugal. Other markets also registered negative hourly prices and the lowest daily prices since mid-2024.

Record wind and photovoltaic energy production and falling European electricity market prices mark the third week of March
In the third week of March, weekly prices in most major European electricity markets fell below €85/MWh, after exceeding €100/MWh in the previous week. Almost all markets registered the lowest daily price since at least January. The increase in renewable energy production and the decrease in electricity demand favored these decreases. Portugal registered the all-time record for wind energy production on March 19, while during the week Germany, France and Italy reached the highest photovoltaic energy production for a day in March.

Low temperatures and decreased renewable energy production keep European electricity market prices above €100/MWh
In the second week of March, weekly prices in most major European electricity markets exceeded €100/MWh and were higher than in the previous week. Higher electricity demand, associated with colder temperatures, and lower wind and photovoltaic energy production compared to the previous week in most markets favored this behavior. In addition, CO2 prices rose and gas prices exceeded €40/MWh again, after falling below that level at the end of the previous week. Brent futures reached their lowest level since September 11. Portugal registered the highest photovoltaic energy production for a day in March.

Price declines and solar energy records mark the first week of March in European electricity markets
In the first week of March, prices declined in European electricity markets. Germany, France and Italy broke all-time records for solar photovoltaic energy production for a day in March, while wind energy production increased in Germany and the Iberian Peninsula. Electricity demand decreased in most markets and fuel prices, such as gas and CO2, fell, contributing to lower electricity market prices.

Falling gas and CO2 prices limit price rises in European electricity markets in the last week of February
In the last week of February, weekly prices in most major European electricity markets were above €100/MWh. In almost all of them, the weekly average was higher than the previous week, although the increases did not exceed 12%. Spain, Portugal and France registered the highest photovoltaic energy production for a February day and wind energy production increased in most markets. Electricity demand decreased in most markets. Gas, CO2 and Brent futures reached the lowest settlement price since December.
