European Power Analytics

Receive highly granular analysis of European electricity wholesale markets and of power generation asset value – fully integrated with our full energy spectrum – global coal, gas, oil, clean technologies and carbon.

The growth of widespread wind and solar generation, resulting market design changes and persistent volatility in the global commodities markets have greatly altered electricity price formation in Europe – with the wholesale electricity markets now exercising predominant influence. Regulatory and technology developments also favor this shift. New European Commission-driven regulation calls for more market-based schemes to drive renewables expansion while emerging technologies – such as batteries, power-to-hydrogen, and smart end-uses – foster demand-side participation.

Within this changing business climate, predicting which power assets will succeed and which will struggle requires a more granular understanding of price formation. European Power Analytics provides a detailed forecast of wholesale power prices and of wholesale asset value to 2050 across our outlooks for 20 European countries to help you evaluate the economics of different technologies.

Is European Power Analytics right for you?

Who uses European Power Analytics?
How?

Plant owners and investors

Accurately model the market value of power assets operational dispatch patterns, associated fuel requirements and maintenance schedules with more granular forecast data.

Equipment providers

Better understand how future assets will operate and which innovative technologies will have greater market value – and stronger appeal – for clients.

Fuel suppliers

Understand how future generation by fuel will evolve and the type of flexibility that will be required.

Retailers and demand aggregators

Grow role in Europe’s wholesale electricity markets by keeping pace with the impact of new technologies and new regulation – notably the development of a smart grid – which enable development of more advanced retail offerings, including “time-of-use” pricing and “critical-peak-pricing."

System operators and regulators

System operators play a critical role in the design and operation of capacity mechanisms, and how these interact with wholesale markets.

Critical Questions Addressed

Detailed power price forecast

  • How will prices evolve?
  • Will we see new prices patterns emerge? Will negative prices become more common?
  • How will new technologies (storage, electric vehicles) impact the price curve?
  • What are the implications on demand and retail (e.g. smart offers)?

Implications on power plant value and usage

  • How will price formation impact the market value of power plants and different technologies? How does it differ across markets?
  • Will thermal generation profitability “recover”? How much “missing money” will need to be recovered in CRMs?
  • How will renewable plants that shift to market revenues be impacted?

Implications on generation mix

  • How will price formation impact the fuel mix chain?
  • Will generation and fuel supply portfolios need to evolve?
  • Will flexibility requirements increase?
