Market reading

Price structure over the period

Average: 84 €/MWh
Most expensive day: 2026-04-01 · 142 €/MWh avg
Cheapest day: 2026-05-01 · -5 €/MWh avg

Moderate price environment with significant intraday volatility.

Flexibility opportunity

Peak/off-peak spread: -50.2 €/MWh
Negative QH: 558 QH (9.5%)

Off-peak is more expensive than peak this period (109.5 € vs 59.3 €/MWh) — night/weekend prices are elevated, likely due to low renewable generation.

What this means for your business
☀️
Solar PV — 558 QH at negative prices over 60 days

Uncontrolled injection during negative price hours generates a cost instead of revenue. Self-consumption or battery charging during these windows is the most immediate action.

Variable pricing — 164 €/MWh between P05 and P95

For businesses on variable contracts indexed to Belpex, this spread directly impacts the bill every month. Shifting loads to cheapest hours is the most effective lever.

🔋
Battery / Storage — peak/off-peak spread: -50.2 €/MWh

Charging off-peak (109.5 €/MWh) and discharging peak (59.3 €/MWh) generates a clear arbitrage margin. We model this for your site without commitment.

🏭
Industrial loads — EV fleets, cold storage, compressed air

Shifting controllable consumption from peak (avg 59.3 €/MWh) to off-peak (avg 109.5 €/MWh) reduces energy costs structurally and recurrently.
