Spot trends mixed, with German prices down, French higher
FRANKFURT, July 30 (Reuters) -European wholesale power prices diverged on Tuesday, with Germany's falling on expectations for higher wind generation and France's rising on forecasts for higher consumption.
"An uptick in French nuclear availability curbs the impact of increasing French residual load (demand)," noted LSEG analyst Riccardo Paviero in a research note.
On Germany, he said: "Increasing wind power supplies and lignite availability will offer some relief," referring to the counterbalance offered by these factors to predictions for rising consumption.
German baseload day-ahead power TRDEBD1 was trading at 81.0 euros ($87.67) per megawatt hour (MWh) at 0740 GMT, down 5.0%.
The equivalent French contract TRFRBD1 was up 11.1% at 60.0 euros/MWh.
On the supply side, French nuclear availability increased by two percentage points from Monday to stand at 77% of installed capacity. POWER/FR
German wind power output was forecast at 4.2 gigawatts (GW) on Wednesday, up from 2.4 GW seen on Tuesday.
Power usage was due to rise in both markets.
In Germany, the anticipated day-on-day gain was pegged at 600 MW, with demand totalling 53.6 GW on Wednesday, while increases in France by 300 MW would likely take the total to 47.7 GW in the same period, LSEG data showed.
Forwards curve prices were untraded, with bids and offers oscillating around previous settlement prices.

Benchmark European carbon prices CFI2Zc1 fell 0.8% to 68.13 euros a metric ton.
Swiss-based international energy sales and trading company MET Group has signed a 1.1 billion euros borrowing base facility for its sales and trading segment, meant as a funding vehicle for LNG and pipeline gas sales and storage.
Elsewhere, Germany reported a rapid expansion of solar photovoltaic units in January-April, boosting the installed capacity total by 20.5% year-on-year in the four months to 81.5 GW.
