Lower wind, solar forecasts cause surge in spot prices
PARIS, July 16 (Reuters) -European prompt power prices jumped on Tuesday as wind and solar supply were expected to fall across the region.
"The dominating signal for (Wednesday's) price is a bullish one. Renewable supply drops, day on day, with solar reverting to normal output levels, and wind dropping below normal in the latter part of the day," said LSEG analyst Riccardo Parviero.
For the same reasons, residual load is seen increasing throughout the region, he added. Residual load refers to how much a traditional power plant has to operate after accounting for variable energy such as wind and solar.
German day-ahead baseload power TRDEBD1 was up 49% to 71.50 euros ($77.90) per megawatt hour (MWh) by 0750 GMT, LSEG data showed.
The equivalent French contract TRFRBD1 gained 74.7% to 69 euros/MWh.
German wind power output is projected to fall by 4.7 gigawatts (GW) to 15.4 GW while French supply is expected to drop by 6 GW to 1.3 GW, the data showed.
Supply from German solar panels is expected to fall by 1.5 GW to 12.5 GW on Wednesday, LSEG data shows.

Power consumption in Germany is forecast to dip by 320 megawatts (MW) to 53.8 GW on Wednesday while French demand is expected to stay flat at 44.2 GW, LSEG data shows.
German year-ahead power TRDEBYZ5 added 0.9% to 88.85 euros/MWh while the French 2025 baseload contract TRFRBYZ5 was untraded after closing at 73.35 euros/MWh on Monday.
European CO2 allowances for December 2024 CFI2Zc1 were up 0.8% at 68.14 euros a metric ton.
Rising temperatures across Europe will increase cooling demand, suggesting additional demand for carbon permits, although this effect will be tempered by good conditions for solar generation, Veyt analyst Henry Lush said.
With lower interest in carbon permit auctions this year, the full auction supply through August holidays may begin to weigh on prices, he added.
