Electricity prices Business cases for interconnectors are generally (if not always) underpinned by price differentials between two markets. Price differentials generally need to be material and forecast to be sustained over the longer term (15-20 years plus). Short term price differentials are also relevant and can be driven by time zone and generation mix differences. Click the logo below to see the latest electricity price summary reports from the European Commission. Numerous commercial electricity exchanges can provide access to detailed, real-time prices and analysis for Europe and worldwide.
