Photovoltaic energy continues to set records, but cold weather and CO2 prices make European electricity markets more expensive in the third week of January
In the third week of January, prices rose in most major European electricity markets, driven by lower wind energy production, increased demand due to colder temperatures and higher gas and CO2 prices. On January 17, CO2 futures reached the highest settlement price since late May. Solar photovoltaic energy production increased, setting all-time records for a January day in Spain, Portugal and France. On the 15th, Brent futures registered the highest settlement price since mid-August.
We have six specialised divisions to meet the needs of the...

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

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.
