Rises in European market prices due to less wind energy in the fourth week of April, photovoltaic energy records and fall in gas prices to the lowest levels since July
In the week of April 21, prices in most major European electricity markets increased compared to the previous week, especially during the first days of the week. Declining wind energy production drove the increases. At the end of the week prices dropped. On Sunday, April 27, Italy reached its lowest price in the last year and several markets registered negative hourly prices, which in the Iberian market were the lowest in history. Spain, Portugal and Germany reached the highest photovoltaic energy production for a day in April and Italy the second highest in history. TTF gas futures reached the lowest settlement price since July 2024.

The Easter that marked a milestone in the Spanish electricity system
During the Easter of 2025, Spain reached a historic energy milestone: the electricity system operated with only two active nuclear reactors. With high renewable energy production, solar, wind and hydroelectric energy production, and low demand, the country not only covered its consumption, but also exported electricity. This situation marks a turning point in the energy transition and highlights the key role of storage in the future of the electricity system.
