What the price represents

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.

Solar puts midday under pressure

The Netherlands is one bidding zone. Because of the large amount of solar power, the price on sunny days regularly drops to zero or below around midday, while the evening peak is expensive — the spread that batteries and flexible assets trade.

Comparison with the rest of Europe

The Netherlands trades together with its neighbours. Coupled zones move together in price as long as the interconnectors have spare capacity. All figures in EUR/MWh.
