In the past week, the increase in electricity prices was mainly promoted by the air temperature, which was lower than the norm and under the influence of which the amount of consumed electricity continued to increase – consumption in the “Nord Pool” region increased by 9%.
In addition, wind production decreased – in the Nordic countries it was 21% lower than the week before, but in the Baltics it decreased by 56%. In the Nordic countries, the share of the available capacity of nuclear power plants continued to decline and reached 87% of the total installed capacity. At the same time, faster price growth in the Baltic States was limited by 10% higher energy flows to the Baltics compared to the previous week.
