It has been since December 2022 that electricity has been this expensive. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">The most expensive time is around a quarter to nine and nine o&#8217;clock in the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Solar panels generate the electricity needed to operate air conditioners during the day, but those revenues disappear in the evening. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">There is also little wind. It is therefore the gas power plants that supply us with electricity, and they are charging extra since they run very little during the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The pattern is called a &#8216;summer solar cliff&#8217;: During the sunny afternoon, solar production is substantial, and prices are far lower. Around sunset, solar output drops rapidly while cooling demand remains high.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">&#8216;K\u00fchlkraftkrise&#8217;<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>In Belgium, hourly prices generally rise from around \u20ac77\/MWh at noon to \u20ac579\/MWh at eight o&#8217;clock in the evening. Prices surge most sharply between roughly 7 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., rather than at the hottest point of the day.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">The combination of heat, running air conditioners, and declining renewable energy is called a &#8216;k\u00fchlkraftkrise&#8217;. It is the opposite of a &#8216;dunkelflaute&#8217;, a period in winter without revenue from renewable energy. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4>The same phenomenon in other countries<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Consumers with a dynamic contract, particularly those with prices that vary by the hour or quarter hour, will see power peaks on their bills. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">In their case, it is best to schedule switching on high-consumption appliances (washing machine, dishwasher, car charging) for the morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">In other countries, we see a similar phenomenon. There, electricity is also expensive in the evenings. <\/span>The daily day-ahead averages are high across the region: Belgium \u20ac184.58\/MWh, the Netherlands \u20ac175.96\/MWh, Germany\/Luxembourg\u00a0\u20ac174.91\/MWh, and France\u00a0\u20ac136.12\/MWh. Prices in France are significantly lower,<span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\"> thanks to the many nuclear power plants the country has.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Extreme temperatures<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">And it is not over yet, as even more extreme temperatures are expected in the coming days. For Brussels, the current forecast is 32\u00b0C on Tuesday, 36\u00b0C on Wednesday and Thursday, and 37\u00b0C on Friday. Temperatures in Paris are expected to rise to 40-41\u00b0C on Thursday, and Germany may also approach 40\u00b0C by Friday or Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This means that electricity prices will<span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\"> also maintain a low-to-high profile: moderate or even cheap at noon, with a higher risk <\/span>of very expensive power, particularly around sunset. The biggest risk is a hot evening combined with weak wind, outages, limited import capacity, or \u2013 essential for Belgium \u2013 reduced French nuclear availability.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">France exports electricity to Belgium, but the possibilities for doing so are not unlimited. Groupe Electricit\u00e9 de France (EDF) has <\/span>already warned that high river temperatures could constrain output at several nuclear plants this week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The heat of the past few days\u00a0is driving electricity prices to their highest level in years.
