Energy and prices scheduled for security reasons

The energy scheduled for the resolution of technical restrictions amounted to 8,284 MWh, 20.2 % less than in the previous year. A total of 75.1 % of the total energy has been scheduled upward. This year, the upward energy scheduled has been reduced compared to 2021 (34.4 %), while the downward energy scheduled is more than double that of last year.

The energy for restrictions to the daily base operating schedule (PDBF) was 4,531 GWh upward (42 % lower than the previous year) and 1,325 GWh downward (more than five times that of 2021). The average value of the upward energy price was 235.6 €/MWh, 73.4 % higher than last year, and the downward energy price was 144.9 €/MWh, 75 % higher than last year. The impact on the average final price was 2.01 €/MWh, compared to 1.83 €/MWh the previous year.

The scheduled energy in phase I of the PDBF technical constraints corresponded almost entirely to combined cycle and coal technologies. The downward energy in phase I is less than a third of the upward energy and corresponds largely to renewables (82 % to wind and solar).

The scheduled energy for technical restrictions in real time amounted to 2,429 GWh, 3.6 % more than the previous year's value. The remaining 69.5 % corresponds to upward allocations and the remaining 30.5 % to downward allocations. The impact on the average final price was 2.68 €/MWh, compared to 1.16 €/MWh the previous year.
