These are wholesale day-ahead clearing prices for the bidding zone, excluding grid fees, taxes and levies. They are the reference for spot-indexed supply, PPA settlement, battery dispatch and the starting point for intraday positions.
Negative prices are not an error. When wind and solar produce a lot and demand is low, the price turns negative, because shutting production down would cost more than carrying on.
France is a single zone. The availability of the nuclear fleet is the factor that moves prices most: a reactor that is offline shows in the curve. Outages are published by RTE and on the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform.
France trades together with its neighbours. Coupled zones move together in price as long as the interconnectors have spare capacity. All figures in EUR/MWh.
