Spot prices up on lower German renewable supply
FRANKFURT, Aug 29 (Reuters) -European prompt power prices rose sharply on Thursday, with lower wind and solar generation expected in Germany on the day-ahead.
German baseload power for Friday TRDEBD1 was up 5.1% at 114 euros ($126.40) a megawatt hour by 0820 GMT, while the French day-ahead equivalent was up 2.65% at 100.3 euros/MWh.
LSEG analyst Francisco Gaspar Machado noted "an increase in residual load in Germany due to lower wind and solar output outweighing a slightly lower consumption".
He said increased brown coal capacity availability in the region was among bearish factors.
LSEG forecasts showed average 24-hour temperatures of around 21-22 degrees Celsius in the two main markets, above seasonal norms.
Wind power output should fall by 2.3 gigawatts in Germany to 5.8 GW on Friday, with solar generation set to fall by 2 GW to 12.4 GW.
French nuclear availability remained unchanged at 72% of capacity. POWER/FR
Power usage forecasts reflected weak pre-weekend demand.
Consumption in Germany was set to fall by 800 MW to 54.7 GW, while that in France will likely remain stable at 45 GW both days.
Along the curve, German year-ahead power TRDEBYZ5 edged up 0.1% to 97 euros/MWh.
The contract's French equivalent TRFRBYZ5 was untraded after closing at 85.2 euros/MWh.
European CO2 allowances for December 2024 expiry CFI2Zc1 nudged down 0.2% to 70.62 euros per metric ton.
In market news, Swiss utility Axpo said it had agreed to buy 1.5 terawatt hours per annum of German utility RWE's green power production in Poland through a deal signed by Axpo subsidiary Axpo Polska and RWE unit RWE Renewables Poland.
Sweden's Vattenfall and German steel producer Salzgitter also agreed a partnership to bring 300 gigawatt hours a year of North Sea offshore wind to Salzgitter plants from 2028.
