The state of the market and electricity prices
May 15, 2013
One of the things which has a great effect on electricity prices in the long term is the development in economic activity- the growth in the world’s economy. The economic activity influences electricity prices through increased demand and indirectly by increased CO2, gas and other fuel prices.
Denmark Sees Effect of Increased German Solar Production

August 08, 2012
After price increases of 25 to 30 % in June and early July, presumably driven by the expected announcement of the EU Commission’s plan to intervene in the EU ETS, prices have dropped back towards record lows. With the Commission’s backpedalling becoming apparent in July, market players realized that intervention in the market is some way off; with a provisional intervention unlikely to be implemented until after the first post-2012 auctions are held; and with a potential, permanent withdrawal of EU allowances (EUAs) pushed even further into the future.
Where to Next?
June 25, 2012
Carbon prices have fallen 60 to 70% over the past year. Since the start of the year, EUA prices are up 3% while CERs are 10% lower. The economic crisis is still taking its toll on prices; exacerbated by the continued political uncertainty about how to counter the over-supply in the EU ETS. To top it all off, according to a new study the EU ETS may see its CER demand saturated through issued CERs as early as in 2013 or 2014.
