Europe Power-Spot power prices slip on lower demand, German wind output
PARIS – European spot electricity prices for day-ahead delivery dipped on Wednesday on the back of forecasts for lower consumption, and increased wind power generation in Germany, while year-ahead contracts came off recent highs tracking the fall in oil, coal and carbon prices.
