Prompt up on tighter solar, nuclear supply
FRANKFURT, Aug 1 (Reuters) -European wholesale power prices rose on Thursday on expectations of lower solar output on the day-ahead while nuclear power availability dropped in France.
"Solar power supplies keep on their downward trajectory in Germany, thus lifting residual load," said LSEG analyst Riccardo Paviero.
"The overall signal is sideways to bullish," Paviero added, citing more wind and lower consumption as bearish factors.
German baseload day-ahead power TRDEBD1 was bid at 100 euros ($108.07) per megawatt hour (MWh) at 0730 GMT, having closed at 94.5 euros in the previous session.

On the supply side, German solar power output was forecast at 10.4 gigawatts (GW) on Friday, down from 13.3 GW seen on Thursday.

Both rely on cooling water from the Garonne river, which is limited when the temperature exceeds regulatory levels.
