Solar generation and intraday volatility: ramps, clouds and price shocks

Renewable energy relies on harnessing the power of the weather, which can result in unpredictable amounts of energy available to serve the grid, making

Wind-driven intraday volatility: patterns, risks and opportunities

Renewable energy is, by its nature, intermittent. It relies on the weather to generate energy, and so it is at the mercy of natural elements. Wind energy is

Intraday volatility in power markets explained: the renewable effect

In the power market, pricing is often open to extreme changes in pricing. When this occurs on the day of delivery, within a single day of trading, we call it

Renewable forecast errors: the primary driver of intraday price swings

Renewable energy is in itself an intermittent source of power, and this unpredictability can have an effect on intraday price swings elsewhere in the market.

Power market reliability explained: what traders mean by system stress

Power market reliability is a term frequently used on trading floors, but it’s rarely clearly defined. While everyone recognises its importance, it can have

Weather, renewables and volatility: forecasting for profit

Accurate renewable and weather forecasting underpins profitable trading, especially for portfolios exposed to intermittent generation.

Weather models

The weather factor: how temperature and wind drive power prices

The renewable energy industry experiences a push-pull relationship with the seasonal volatility of the weather. Without it, there would be many fewer sources

How does gas affect power prices?

Gas remains the primary factor influencing electricity prices throughout much of Europe and beyond. Despite the growth of renewables, gas-fired generation

How do weather forecasts improve renewable energy output?

Weather forecasts turn renewable variability into performance. High-res models boost solar and wind yields, cut imbalances, and keep grids stable at
