The generation mix (trailing 30 days)

Wind 17.4% Solar 5.2% Hydro 16.1% Nuclear 48.9% Fossil 0.1%

FI runs on a nuclear backbone (48.9% of recent generation). Baseload is cheap and steady, so the price action lives in the margins: demand swings (this market is highly temperature-sensitive), the availability of the reactor fleet, and how much wind/solar shows up. Outage seasons — planned or otherwise — are the risk events worth watching.

The zone has cleared negative 40 hours so far this year (live counters on the tracker), inside a year-to-date range of -9.57 to 613.91 €/MWh. Our current forecast record for this zone is young — watch it accumulate, wins and losses alike, on the public scorecard.
