The future of the European electricity system without polluting energy sources

The European electricity system is moving towards a fully decarbonised model, where energy storage, grid digitalisation, active demand management, more robust interconnections and a diversified renewable energy mix will be key pillars. Achieving this will require a profound technological, regulatory and economic transformation, as well as the active involvement of all stakeholders in the sector.

Rising renewable energy production and falling gas prices push European electricity market prices down in the first week of May

In the week of April 28, prices in the main European electricity markets decreased compared to the previous week. Falling demand and gas prices, as well as increased renewable energy production, supported these declines. Photovoltaic energy set all-time generation records in France and Italy, as well as the highest production for a day in April in Germany. Wind energy production increased in the continent’s major markets. TTF gas futures reached the lowest settlement price since July 2024 and Brent futures since March 2021.

The challenge of financing photovoltaic energy projects in the era of low prices

Plummeting prices during solar hours have put the financial viability of many photovoltaic energy projects at risk. Price cannibalisation, falling captured prices, difficulties in closing PPA on favourable terms and the need for structural solutions such as energy storage create a new paradigm for renewable development. Adapting to the new context is no longer an option, but a condition for further progress.

These are the latest workshops held:
  • Short term forecasting for agents that operate in the spot and futures markets. Request recording >>
  • Mid-term forecasting with the stochasticity distributions for agents operating in the spot and futures markets. Request recording >>
  • Alea Energy DataBase (AleaApp) for the compilation, visualisation and analysis of data related to the energy markets. Request recording >>

HYBRID SYSTEMS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY AND BATTERIES
At AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, studies, analyses and reports are carried out for hybrid systems, mainly of solar photovoltaic energy with batteries, but also of solar photovoltaic energy with wind energy, and of the three, solar photovoltaic energy, wind energy and batteries. The objective of these studies, analyses and reports is defining strategies for optimising the operation of hybrid systems to maximise their income. In addition, the estimation of future income is made taking into account the defined strategy and long term hourly market price forecasts.

ALEA ENERGY DATABASE (ALEAAPP)

At AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, the Alea Energy DataBase (AleaApp) was developed, an online platform which compiles the data from the energy markets and the macroeconomic data from the main European markets, helping and facilitating the digitalisation of the companies. In this tool it is possible to visualise and analyse the data through comparative graphs of variables, calculation of the moving average, changes in the temporality of the series, among others.
