The landscape of electricity generation and distribution has transformed significantly. Previously, it was dominated by a few large power plants with centralized, national markets and reliance on large power lines and pipelines. Today, it’s characterized by many small-scale producers, decentralized and cross-border markets, and localized grids with balancing and storage systems. Energy distribution has shifted from a one-directional flow to a bidirectional flow, where consumers also act as producers. This shift makes consumers active participants in energy production and management, promoting sustainability and energy security. At 4cast, we support this transition with precise and rapid yield forecasts for wind and solar projects, optimizing your energy assets.

Renewable energies play a crucial role in Germany’s net electricity generation. Wind energy leads with 32%, followed by solar PV at 12%, biomass at 9.7%, and hydropower at 4.5%. In contrast, coal still accounts for 26%, natural gas for 10.5%, and nuclear energy for 1.5%. Overall, renewable sources contribute 59.7% to Germany’s net electricity generation, while non-renewable sources make up 40.3%. This shift underscores the increasing importance of renewables in Germany’s energy mix. For planners and developers, optimizing site selection and yield potential is essential. At 4cast, we offer automated, precise, and rapid yield forecasts for wind and solar projects to help you make informed decisions and maximize the success of your renewable energy assets.

Market Glitch: Electricity Prices Surge 20-fold Today A technical error at the Epex Spot power exchange on Tuesday led to massive price distortions in the short-term electricity market. As a result, on Wednesday, the price of a megawatt-hour (MWh) in Austria between 10 and 11 AM will be nearly 2,000 euros, and over 2,300 euros in Germany. The exchange operator attributed the price spike to a decoupling in the day-ahead auction, which required separate local auctions per country. While hourly electricity prices are generally irrelevant for households and businesses, E-Control expert Leo Lehr cautioned private customers and companies with dynamic tariffs to be vigilant. These dynamic tariffs, tied to Epex Spot prices, could lead to extreme costs, such as nearly 22 euros for charging an electric vehicle during the most expensive hour. The EXAA exchange reported no irregularities, and Epex is conducting a detailed market analysis to determine the cause of the decoupling. How can such extremes be avoided? Precise performance and yield forecasts are crucial for navigating the volatile energy market successfully. Our automated forecasts offer efficiency and accuracy, helping you minimize market risks and make informed decisions. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dUqMY9Pu
