Renewable energy and lower demand moderate European electricity market prices despite rising gas and CO2 prices in the third week of May
In the third week of May, the main European electricity markets showed mixed evolution, although in most of them weekly prices were lower than the previous week. Despite the increase in gas and CO2 prices, higher renewable energy generation and lower demand allowed prices to be contained and lowered in some cases. The Portuguese market once again broke its historical record for daily photovoltaic energy production and the German and Italian markets reached the highest production with this technology for a day in May.

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.
At AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, long term forecasting reports are carried out for all European energy markets. In addition, new complementary services associated with these long term reports are offered.
Mid term European electricity markets prices forecasting reports are also available, which provide a vision of the prospects for the coming months and years, taking into account the most up to date scenarios for the evolution of the economy.
At AleaSoft Energy Forecasting, studies and reports on the European energy markets are carried out to satisfy the needs of the companies in the sector or other indirectly related companies. Some examples of these reports are:
Long-term analysis of the electricity sector in the European markets
Optimisation strategies for hybrid systems of renewable energy and energy storage
Impact of the 7% tax on the market prices
Financing and PPA
Renewable energy auctions
CO2 prices
Analysis of the emission factor transferred to the market at the long term
Price captured by photovoltaic, solar thermal, wind and hydroelectric energy
Valuation of the wind and solar resource of a facility
Influence of anticipated nuclear power plants shutdowns in the electricity sector
International interconnections
Analysis of price cannibalisation and hourly price profiles in the future

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.
The energy markets observatories are available on the AleaSoft Energy Forecasting website, which allow analysing the evolution of the main European electricity markets in recent weeks. This tool includes hourly, daily and weekly graphs in which the information is updated daily.
