Grade Abearish AI signal
Rising wind supply is pushing European spot electricity prices lower, while higher gas costs are lifting German forward power contracts.
The French day-ahead contract plunged 47.8% to €80/MWh, while Germany’s year-ahead baseload contract rose 2.2% to €149.20/MWh, its highest level since June 2023.
Sustained high wind output could continue pressuring spot prices, while elevated gas costs and depleted storage ahead of winter may keep forward electricity prices under upward pressure.
