variable renewable energy generation is abundant, combined with large and relatively inflexible baseload electricity
generation (e.g. nuclear or lignite). In such cases, conventional power plants offer their output for a negative price

2023 (+189%). This is the highest second quarterly figure since the record set in Q2 2023 (1441). The highest
number of occurrences of negative price took place in May of the reference quarter (1578), with most negative
prices occurring in Northern Europe, followed by Central Western Europe and Central Eastern Europe. Northern Eu-
rope is benefiting by the development of wind and solar power combined with good supply conditions of hydroelectric
and nuclear power. Negative price signals intensify the search for market instruments that would find a proper value
of flexibility, increasing incentives for demand-side response and storage solutions.</a></label><br><a href="https://cdn.masto.host/socialwildeboernet/media_attachments/files/113/460/361/424/414/328/original/8f2b8c67a7f5c226.png" rel="external">https://cdn.masto.host/socialwildeboernet/media_attachments/files/113/460/361/424/414/328/original/8f2b8c67a7f5c226.png</a></li></ol></footer></blockquote>
