The electricity system in evolution: from state-controlled to organised competition
Electricity is an essential commodity for any economy, yet its operation as a market is complex. Since the late 20th century, Europe has moved from a state-controlled model with regulated prices to a liberalised market model, where prices are determined by supply and demand. This transformation has been one of the most significant changes in the European electricity sector.

Price decline in European electricity markets due to the increase in wind energy production in the fourth week of October
During the fourth week of October, the increase in wind energy production led to lower prices in most major European electricity markets, with averages below €60/MWh. Germany and France registered their highest wind energy production for a day in October. In contrast, photovoltaic energy production decreased, while electricity demand rose in most markets. CO2 futures reached their highest settlement price since mid-February, while Brent futures registered their lowest settlement price since early May.

Interview of El Periódico de la Energía with Antonio Delgado Rigal, PhD in Artificial Intelligence and CEO of AleaSoft Energy Forecasting
If the markets were not volatile enough, in April we had a blackout that changed everything again. How is the market evolving after Red Eléctrica reinforced its operation?The blackout on April 28 was a turning point that led Red Eléctrica to strengthen its operating procedures and prioritise system security. This has translated into greater technical requirements for generators, particularly renewable energy plants. Since then, grid management has become more conservative, more importance has been given to dispatchable technologies and episodes of renewable energy curtailment have increased at certain times.

European electricity markets register further increases in the third week of October driven by higher demand and lower renewable energy production
In the third week of October, prices in the main European electricity markets continued the upward trend of the previous week, with most markets reaching weekly averages above €90/MWh. Once again, most markets registered daily prices above €100/MWh and highs for recent months. In addition, the Dutch and German markets reached quarter-hourly prices above €400/MWh, the highest values since the summer and the beginning of the year, respectively. The increase in electricity demand and the decline in wind and solar energy production in most markets favored the rise in prices.

European electricity market prices rise in the second week of October due to demand, gas, CO2 and lower renewable energy production
In the second week of October, weekly prices in most major European electricity markets exceeded €75/MWh and were higher than the previous week. Several markets registered daily prices above €100/MWh. The increase in electricity demand in most markets, together with higher gas and CO2 prices, drove this rise in prices. The decline in solar and wind energy production in several markets also contributed to this rise. In Italy, photovoltaic energy production reached its highest level for a day in October. Meanwhile, CO2 futures maintained their upward trend and reached their highest value since mid-February, €79.69/t.
