A fundamental lack of transparency in the European power market has been an ongoing issue, and Genscape's proprietary data has been key in providing critical awareness and insight into this market.
With this in mind, we wanted to share with you Genscape's most recent blog post, "Unreported Outage at Doel Nuclear Plant in Belgium." The blog explains how an unreported 24-hour outage on April 6 at Doel nuclear power plant in Belgium caused a ramp in gas-fired generation that reflected in higher prices in the Day-Ahead Market. It explains that even with its short duration, this outage could signal further tightness in the market and how the decline in nuclear generation is likely to send power prices soaring.
Genscape has also released an updated white paper on CHP production in the German market, "How Transparency in German Combined Hear & Power (CHP) Plant Production Impacts Trading." The paper analyzes the challenges CHP production raises for market participants and the key steps required to address the existing fundamental lack of transparency in CHP plant production.
