Dear members and friends, The month’s Chart reveals the intricate link between TTF Natural Gas and EU ETS prices and the volatility in wholesale electricity prices. We detail how this price volatility is passed on to consumers, highlighting the growing affordability crisis as reflected in increased utility bill arrears across the EU and especially in Greece. A key takeaway is the vital role of renewables in stabilizing the market. Unlike fossil fuels, renewables offer predictable costs and their increased penetration can help contain wholesale prices. Discover the key trends in wholesale and retail prices, the impact of subsidies, and policy imperatives to shield vulnerable consumers.
