This graph compares the evolution of spot electricity prices on the European market. The values shown are weekly averages of spot prices for each price zone considered.
CRE, the French Energy Regulatory Commission, was created on 24 March 2000. Its role is to ensure that the electricity and gas markets in France function smoothly, for the benefit of end consumers and in line with energy policy objectives.
The wholesale market is where electricity is traded (bought and sold) before being delivered to end consumers (individuals, households or businesses) via the grid.
Part of the electricity injected into the network is not traded on the markets, but instead delivered directly to end consumers by vertically integrated companies, i.e. those acting as both generator and supplier.The remainder of the generation or supply is traded on the wholesale markets, giving rise to multiple transactions which may result in physical nominations.
Transactions may be purely financial (if the product only entails an exchange of funds), or alternatively may entail a physical delivery of electricity on the French power network.
Two types of products may be traded. On the one hand, spot products are traded for same-day or next-day delivery, within the pan-European coupling mechanisms for the Day-Ahead and Intraday markets, among others. On the other hand, futures contracts are traded for delivery at a given point in the future.
Reference prices for the French electricity market are those of the Day-Ahead market, i.e. the prices of the hourly products as calculated by the Nominated Electricity Market Operators (NEMOs) operating in France. These prices are fixed every day before 1pm via a pan-European auction mechanism, on the day before the day of delivery, thus representing the short-term balance between supply and demand.
This mechanism is complemented by an intraday continuous mechanism called "XBID", allowing to exchange energy cross-border up to one hour before the beginning of the delivery hour. Finally, RTE, the French Transmission System Operation, ensures the real-time balance of the system if necessary, through the balancing market. French intraday markets allow exchanges within France up to five minutes before delivery.
Short-term prices are volatile. This is because electricity cannot be stored on a large scale, while the supply-demand balance is influenced by factors which can fluctuate rapidly, such as cold weather leading to increased electricity demand, or events affecting generating facilities (power plant outages, reduced interconnector capacity, etc.).
Electricity market participants can sign buyer/seller contracts for the supply of electricity in future days, weeks, months, quarters or years, at a price negotiated on the contract trade date.
